The Court in history: a discussion
on Jan 17, 2007 at 5:09 pm
The Supreme Court Fellows are sponsoring a panel discussion on Jan. 25 in Washington, D.C., to explore “lessons from history” about the independence of the judiciary. The 90-minute afternoon program will will focus on the impeachment and not-guilty verdict in 1805 for Associate Justice Samuel Chase, the Court’s 1868 decision in Ex parte McCardle on jurisdiction-stripping legislation, and President Franklin Roosevelt’s “Court-packing” plan in 1937. The Fellows’ announcement of the event can be found here.
