"Mr. President, I think it should be left to the FBI to handle it." Hoover looked at Roosevelt with his deep, eagle-eyed eyes.
"So far...who has the right person for the appointment of the new chief of staff?" Roosevelt opened the conversation and threw a new temptation.
"Mr. President." Hoover stood up and said: "If no one even investigates the death of the chief of staff, how can the government convince the public?"
Taking a deep look at Hoover, Roosevelt calmly said: "It's not about giving up the investigation, but everything needs evidence, my FBI director, do you understand?"
"Yes." Hoover swept the crowd with indifferent eyes, and turned around and left before Roosevelt spoke.
Bang
The door rang, and everyone looked at Roosevelt, wanting to see his reaction.
This Mr. Director is becoming more and more rampant, but everyone is shy about this, and no one knows how much ‘intelligence he holds in his hands. ’
It is said that even our President, there are scandals in his hands.
"We need a new army chief of staff, about the investigation... to the FBI to do." Roosevelt put an end to this matter.
And the true thoughts in his heart, no slight flaws can be seen from the gentle smile.
...
...
Los Angeles, Club 22.
"Is there any news for Justice Hugo?" In the office, Li Zitao was meeting with the legal affairs.
Saliyev and Mahathir sat across from each other and said with complacency: "Judge Holmes has agreed, he will personally invite Van Der Vent and Sutherland to invite them to join Mahathir ."
Mahathir was very excited, yes, very, very excited.
Are the three Supreme Court justices serving as senior advisers to Mahathir Law Firm more crazy?
Even if they were replaced by presidents and three presidents were invited as advisers, it would not make Mahathir so excited.
After all, any president will be strictly protected after he resigns, forbidding him to have any contact with politics, and before assuming the position of president, they have already chosen their ranks and positions.
The retired justices are different. They have no position and their terms are for life, unless they die, voluntary retirement and Congressional impeachment.
This also means that during their long term, they have handled countless cases and considered them from the perspective of legislators.
As the ‘judgment’ at the top of the American judicial pyramid, they will be more aware of what these people are thinking, what they will do, and from what angle they view a problem.
Justice Holmes became a lawyer in 1866 and served as a justice of the Supreme Court of the United States in 1902. He retired in 1932, and the law continued throughout his life.
Justice Van Der Went has served in the Supreme Court for 23 years, and Justice Sutherland has served for more than 26 years.
The cases passed by them were based on a base of one hundred thousand, but these experiences could not be bought for much.
"Complete this matter as soon as possible. Their place of work can be placed at home. We only need professional guidance and advice, as well as contacts in their hands.
The three judges are not young, and running back and forth will be very risky. "
The investment will be rewarded. They are all old people in the rare age. Li Zitao does not want to hear the bad news before they play their residual heat.
Two justices, Holmes and Hugo, came forward to lobby Van Der Vent and Sutherland, which secretly caused much discussion.
The change in the Supreme Court’s justices has always been a top priority in the American judicial profession, and even Washington and Congress will be affected.
After all, the president has been in office for only four years, and a young judge can do at least 30 to 40 years, affecting the ideology and judicial direction of the United States in every way.
The most concerned about this matter is President Roosevelt who was slapped by nine old men.
During his tenure, the Supreme Court successively ‘murdered’ all the pillar policies of his New Deal, breaking the fragmentation of the New Deal into a joke.
Even the Englishman on the other side of the ocean publicly mocked him in the newspaper, which made Roosevelt and his government lose face.
His term of office is coming to an end next year. Roosevelt's re-election is affirmative, and he is also ready to fight the Supreme Court.
If it goes well, after his successful re-election next year, he will immediately declare war on the Supreme Court and submit his "Judicial Reform Plan" to Congress.
In fact, even if Li Zitao asked two justices to leave the Supreme Court, Roosevelt threw him to carry out his ‘judicial reform. ’
The average age of the nine Supreme Justices is 71 years old. This is the ‘old man’s court that no one in the history of the United States can surpass. ’
Weakness and lack of energy make the work efficiency of the Supreme Court slower and slower, the work piles up, and the judge falls asleep at important meetings.
In Roosevelt's view, the Supreme Court now looks like a bloated old man and should immediately change this situation.
Moreover, only 2 out of 9 people support him~EbookFREE.me~ Even if Li Zitao invites Van Der Went and Sutherland, the conservatives will still have 5 votes, the situation is still unfavorable to Roosevelt.
To truly reform the United States, we must first solve the obstacle of the Supreme Court. This is Roosevelt's idea.
Although neither he nor Congress has the right to dismiss the judge, the number of judges is not static.
In 1786, there were only 6 justices in the Supreme Court. By 1800, the number of judges was nearly reduced to 5. The government and Congress eventually abandoned the plan.
In the middle of the year, it was increased to 7 people. The seventh president Andrew Jackson increased to 9 people today. There was a precedent during the American Civil War to increase the number to 10.
The ignorance of the Supreme Court made Roosevelt put his idea on the 10th person. Since it can be increased from 6 to 9, and then to 10, then from 9 to 18, it sounds like there is no problem. .
Soon after the news came back, Lord Van Der Went and Sutherland agreed to the invitation of Mahathir Law Firm, willing to serve as a senior consultant.
Perhaps there are still nine people who are unwilling to let go of their rights, but the two justices of Van Der Vent and Sutherland have been fed up with endless work.
The tormented body and weakened energy are the reasons for their willingness to retire.
If it were not for Roosevelt and Congress to cut retirement wages several times, they now enjoy life on the farm.
"Roosevelt, congratulations." The first time he got the news, Li Zitao called the White House.
Roosevelt's mood sounded good, and said that he would find time to visit the castle, but he only took a light on the Supreme Court and the justices.
That kind of performance seemed to be taboo, and Li Zitao hanging up the phone thoughtfully.
