EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic moment in American politics - the expansion of the Supreme Court resulting from President Franklin Roosevelt's signing of the Judiciary Reorganization Bill of 1937. The cartoon, drawn by Albert Hirschfeld, depicts the newly expanded Supreme Court with Justices Roberts, Butler, Van Devanter, Hughes, McReynolds, Sutherland, Stone, and Cardozo. In this lively illustration, each justice is portrayed with their distinctive features and personalities. From left to right: Justice Roberts appears stern and serious; Justice Butler looks contemplative; Justice Van Devanter seems pensive; Chief Justice Hughes exudes confidence; Justice McReynolds appears skeptical; Justice Sutherland has a thoughtful expression on his face; Justice Stone emanates wisdom; while Justice Cardozo wears an enigmatic smile. The cartoon serves as a visual representation of FDR's controversial attempt to "pack" the court with justices who would support his New Deal policies. It reflects the political climate of that era when tensions ran high between those who supported Roosevelt's progressive agenda and those who feared an overreach of executive power. Albert Hirschfeld's skillful drawing captures not only the physical likeness but also hints at each justice's judicial temperament through subtle facial expressions. This print offers viewers a glimpse into a pivotal moment in American history where politics intersected with law in shaping our nation's highest court.
