Chapter 0678 Settlement of the Supreme Court First Step

"Mr. President, I think it's time to leave it to the FBI. Hoover looked at Roosevelt with his eagle-like eyes.

"That's it... Who has the right person for the new chief of staff appointment?" Roosevelt digressed from the topic and threw out a new temptation.

"Mr. President. Hoover stood up and preemptively said, "If no one is even investigating the death of the chief of staff, how can the government convince the people?"

After a deep look at Hoover, Roosevelt said calmly: "It's not that the investigation is abandoned, but everything needs evidence, my FBI director, do you understand?"

"Yes. Hoover swept the crowd with a cold and disdainful look, and before Roosevelt could speak, he turned to leave.

Syllable.

There was a knock on the door, and all eyes were on Roosevelt to see how he would react.

The director is becoming more and more rampant, but everyone is secretive about it, and no one knows how much 'information' he has in his hands. ’

It is said that even our Mr. President, there is a scandal in his hands.

"We need a new Army Chief of Staff, on the investigation ... Leave it to the FBI. Roosevelt put an end to the affair.

And the true thoughts in his heart could not be seen in the slightest flaw from his gentle smile.

......

......

Los Angeles, Club 22.

"Is there any news from Officer Hugo?" In the office, Li Zitao was in a meeting with the legal counsel.

Sariyev and Mahathir Mohamad sat opposite each other, and said with a smug face: "Officer Holmes has agreed, and he will personally come forward to invite Van der Vant and Sutherland, and invite them to join Mahathir's law firm." ”

Mahathir was excited, yes, very, very excited.

Is there anything crazier than three Supreme Court officials who serve as senior counsel to Mahathir's law firm?

Even if they were to be replaced by presidents and three presidents to be advisers at the same time, Mahathir would not be so excited.

After all, any president who leaves office is strictly 'protected' from any further contact with politics, and they have already chosen their ranks and positions before they take the presidency.

Retired officials are different, they have no position, and their terms are lifelong, except in death, voluntary retirement, and impeachment by Congress.

This also means that they have handled countless cases of all kinds during their long tenure, and they have considered it from the perspective of legislators.

As the 'referees' at the top of the American judicial pyramid, they will have a better idea of what these people are thinking, how they are doing, and how they look at an issue.

Officer Holmes became a lawyer in 1866 and served as a judge of the Supreme Court of America from 1902 until his retirement in 1932.

Officer Vanderwent served on the Supreme Court for 23 years and Sutherland for more than 26 years.

The cases in their hands are based on 100,000 yuan, but no amount of money can buy these experiences.

"Finalize this matter as soon as possible, their work location can be placed at home, we only need professional guidance and advice, as well as their contacts,

The three judges are not young, and it will be very risky to go back and forth. ”

The investment will be rewarded, they are all old men in their prime, and Li Zitao doesn't want to hear the bad news before they can exert their residual heat.

Holmes and Hugo came forward to lobby Van der Venter and Sutherland, which secretly caused a lot of discussion.

The change of the Supreme Court has always been a top priority in the American judicial circles, and even Washington and Congress will be affected.

After all, the president has only been in office for 4 years, and a young ** official can do at least 30~40 years to influence the ideology and judicial direction of the United States from all aspects.

If you want to say that the person who pays the most attention to this matter is President Roosevelt, who was slapped in the face by nine old men.

During his tenure, the Supreme Court 'murdered' all the pillars of his New Deal, tearing it apart and turning it into a joke.

Even the British across the ocean openly ridiculed him in the newspapers, which disgraced Roosevelt and his administration.

His term will come to an end next year, Roosevelt's return to the campaign is certain, and he is ready to go to war with the Supreme Court.

If all goes well, he will declare war on the Supreme Court and submit his Judicial Reform Plan to Congress as soon as he successfully runs for re-election next year.

In fact, even if Li Zitao let the two ** officials leave the Supreme Court, Roosevelt will carry out his 'judicial reform'. ’

The average age of the nine highest officials is 71 years old, which is the 'old man's court' that no one in the history of the United States has been able to surpass. ’

Old age and frailty, lack of energy, make the efficiency of the Supreme Court more and more slow, the work is piling up, and there are cases of ** officials falling asleep in important meetings.

In Roosevelt's view, the Supreme Court was like a bloated old man who should change the situation immediately.

Moreover, only 2 out of 9 people supported him.

Even if Li Zitao had taken Van der Vwent and Sutherland away, the conservatives would still have five votes, and the situation would still be unfavorable for Roosevelt.

In order to truly reform the United States, the Supreme Court must first be resolved, and this is what Roosevelt thought.

Although neither he nor Congress has the right to fire ** officials, the number of ** officials is not set in stone.

In 1786 there were only six members of the Supreme Court, and by 1800 it was almost reduced to five, and it was the government and Congress that abandoned the plan.

By the middle of the year, it had increased to seven, and it had increased to nine under the 7th President Andrew Jackson, and there was a precedent during the American Civil War to increase the number to 10.

The Supreme Court's ignorance made Roosevelt hit the '10th' person, and since it could be increased from 6 to 9 and then to 10, then it didn't sound like a problem to increase from 9 to 18.

Soon news came back that Van der Vwent and Sutherland** had agreed to Mahathir's invitation to take on the position of senior counsel.

Maybe there are still 9 people who are unwilling to let go of their rights, but Van der Vwent and Sutherland, the two ** officials, have had enough of endless work.

Their afflicted bodies and weakened energy are the reasons why they are willing to retire.

Had it not been for Roosevelt and Congress's several cuts in retirement wages, they would have been enjoying life on the farm by now.

"Roosevelt, congratulations. As soon as he got the news, Li Zitao dialed the phone number of the White House.

Roosevelt sounded in a good mood, and said that he would find time to come to the castle as a guest, but he only lightly brought about the matter of the Supreme Court and the ** official.

That kind of performance seemed to be taboo about something, which made Li Zitao, who hung up the phone, thoughtful.
