Chapter 0651 The President and the Supreme Court Wrestle Their Wrists
Since taking office, Roosevelt has announced a series of policies to stimulate the economy, including the Agricultural Adjustment Act, the National Industrial Relations Act,
The Fair Labor Standards Act, the Social Security Act, the Securities and Exchange Act, the Industrial Revival Act, etc.
In particular, the Public Labor Standards Act and the Industrial Rehabilitation Act are seriously unconstitutional.
However, there is a premise that these policies emerged under the premise of the Great Depression and the strong demand from all sectors of society for the government to regulate the market economy.
The old people of the Supreme Court were unmoved, and they still insisted on the 'supremacy' of the Constitution, and in recent days they have once again dealt Roosevelt a blow to the head.
The four Schechter brothers were Jewish families living in Brooklyn, New York, and ran a poultry company that was primarily engaged in the middleman business of buying poultry for slaughter and sale.
In the 30s, due to the collapse of the Union State Bank in New York, all the money stored by the Schechters in the bank was lost, but they struggled to hold on.
In '34, they were taken to court by the National Directorate of Industrial Rehabilitation for violating the New York Metropolitan and Surrounding Areas Live Poultry Industry Fair Competition Act.
For example, "price control", the price of chicken is lower than the government's price, "direct slaughter", "customers do not have the right to choose a single poultry, which one is counted."
That is, you are not given the right to choose, and you are paid less than the minimum wage (because then you can hire a few more workers than others).
In November '34, the Eastern District Court of New York convicted the Schechter brothers, who were to be fined and sentenced to a short prison sentence.
At the time, the New York Times declared, "The NRA won the first felony. ”
But the Schechter brothers appealed to the Supreme Court.
During the trial, the ** officer questioned the 'direct slaughter' and asked curiously: If all the chickens are crowded at the other end of the chicken coop, what will the customers do?
Because according to the law, they can't pick at all, they can only grab it, but they don't have chickens in front of them????
In the end, the Supreme Court unanimously ruled 9-0 that the Industrial Recovery Act was unconstitutional and that the Schechter brothers were not guilty.
The NRA (National Industrial Reconstruction Agency), which has only been established for 14 months, is dying.
Far aside, in London, the front page of the Express ran the following headline: 'America is stunned, Roosevelt's work is strangled in 20 minutes!'
"Huh... Will Roosevelt want to hit someone when he sees this report?" With the "Express" in his hand still beside him, Li Zitao patted his thigh and smiled gloatingly.
In the more than two years since he took office, the Supreme Court has vetoed Roosevelt's seven New Policies, declaring them unconstitutional, and I believe this will not be the last.
"I think so. Ava folded the newspaper and put it away, smiling.
"Maybe I should help my dear Mr. President... How about inviting the ** official to be Mahathir's senior adviser?" Li Zitao rubbed his chin, feeling that this was a good idea.
It's not about buying, it's about warming them up, and Mahathir & Mahathir is a 'friend of the poor,' and they specialize in bringing justice to the poor.
The annual salary is 22,000 US dollars according to the standard of senior consultants, which is believed to be enough to satisfy them.
Doing so would add to Mahathir's reputation, deepen his relationship with Roosevelt, and give him access to top-notch legal counsel.
"By the way, Blake seems to know Chief ** Officer Hughes, and it's a good idea to let him be a matchmaker!"
Li Zitao, who returned home, immediately contacted Hugo Black and said that he wanted to invite the three ** officials to serve as senior counsel at Mahathir Mohamad's law firm.
Officer Holmes had retired, and Roosevelt had his attorney general propose to Congress a temporary reinstatement of his pension.
This ** official, who supported Roosevelt's New Deal, retired smoothly, and his successor was naturally the person chosen by Roosevelt.
It's a pity that among the 9 ** officials, conservatives occupy the absolute right to vote, and other ** officials will also give priority to considering from the perspective of justice.
It's not that Roosevelt nominated him as his man, that doesn't exist.
is like the previous President Hoover, who was nominated by him and gave him a lot of trouble after taking office.
So much so that he could say something like, 'This nomination is the worst mistake I've ever made in my life.'"
Invite this retired ** official, and then invite Van der Vant and Sutherland, so that the intention will not be so obvious.
Although it is to cover up the ears and steal the bell, at least there is a layer of fig leaf, and the purpose will not be so strong.
"I'll try, Charlie... Thank you for your hospitality that night. Blake's laughter was a bit obscene, and it seemed that the old guy had a good night's time!
When leaving, Li Zitao made a special trip to send the two hot girls to the hotel where he lived, and paid a 24-hour service fee of 3,000 US dollars by the way.
Nearly 70 years old, double flying warbler swallow, tsk...
Asked Blake to contact the three ** officers, and AD-B also had a reply.
The annual purchase of 1 ton of gold costs $32 per ounce, and the price of making gold bricks is $34, which is $1 cheaper than the market price.
But when you count smelting and consumption, the cheap price is more than that.
The purchase volume of 2 tons per year, plus the transportation cost, is 2.43 million US dollars, which is a very good price.
"Dad, I want a little gold man, like Hollywood. As soon as he came out of the study, Li Zitao's thigh was hugged by his son Mason.
"Why?" Li Zitao picked him up and asked curiously.
"Beautiful... Gold... Sell. "The logic is very smooth, because it is golden, it can be sold for money at a critical moment, and there is enough value.
"No problem. Li Zitao said with a smile.
"No, you can't. Mary's voice came from the end of the hallway, "Mason, your birthday has passed. ”
Mary still complains about her husband's use of the King' as a birthday present to her two sons.
They are only two years old, and they should develop good values, so they will be spoiled.
"It looks like your wish is going to be frustrated. Li Zitao said helplessly to his son.
"Can't you just do it once?" said his son Mason, rolling his eyes and disdainfully.
"Hey, because mom is right, and I love her, and that's the point. Li Zitao slapped him on the ass angrily.
"If you beat me up again, I'll report your misdeeds to Care Funds and let them take you away. Mason rubbed his little butt and raised his fist.
"They're just going to take you, do you want to leave us? Maybe I should talk to my mother. Sometimes Li Zitao wonders if he gave birth to two demons.
It's just that they have just turned 2 years old, where do they know so much, or is it because they usually follow Mary when they are out and about?
"Uh," said the little one, shaking his head with trepidations, "Forget it... I'm quite happy with this home. ”
"Huh?" Li Zitao looked at him with a confused face, what the fk?
