ALDERMAN, SIDNEY S.
- Abstract
The article analyzes the impact on the judiciary in the U.S. due to the changes which were made by U.S. Presidents including, those by former U.S. Presidents, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and Harry S. Truman, by appointing judges of their choice to the U.S. Supreme Court. It is stated that, while Roosevelt appointed 8 new Associate Judges to the court which were all Democratic Party supporters, Truman appointed Senator Harold H. Burton as Associate Judge to the court. It is stated that, despite the efforts of the Presidents to mold the judiciary according to their wishes, the judiciary has remained neutral, as people of intelligence and character when appointed to an independent judiciary became their own masters and followed their own thinking.
