In the years before World War II, Franklin Roosevelt’s fiercest, most unyielding opponent was neither a foreign power nor "fear itself." It was the U.S. Supreme Court. Beginning in 1935, in a series of devastating decisions, the Supreme Court’s conservative majority left much of FDR’s agenda in ruins. The pillars of the New Deal fell in short succession. It was not just the New Deal, but democracy itself, that stood on trial. In February 1937, Roosevelt struck back with an audacious plan to expand the Court to fifteen justices—and to “pack” the new seats with liberals who shar

In The Supreme Court under Earl Warren, 1953–1969, Michal Belknap recounts the eventful history of the Warren Court. Chief Justice Earl Warren’s sixteen years on the bench were among the most dramatic, productive, and controversial in the history of the Supreme Court. Warren’s tenure saw the Court render decisions that are still hotly debated today. Its rulings addressed such issues as school desegregation, separation of church and state, and freedom of expression. In 1954 Warren and his colleagues struck down school segregation as unconstitutional. They then participated in a broad c

Knowledge of Self is the result of a process of self-discovery, but few of us know where to begin when we’re ready to start looking deeper.
