Encyclopedia: Supreme Court of the United States The United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, known informally as the D.C. Circuit, is the federal appellate court for the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. The Court consists of the Chief Justice of the United States and eight Associate Justices, who are nominated by the President and confirmed with the "advice and consent" of the Senate. Thus, for example, the Court between 1969 and 1986 is referred to as the "Burger Court" (after former Chief Justice Warren E. Burger) and the Court between 1986 and 2005 is referred to as the "Rehnquist Court" (after the late Chief Justice William Rehnquist). www.nationmaster.com /encyclopedia/Supreme-Court-of-the-United-States   (9728 words)

Articles - Court-packing Bill The Judiciary Reorganization Bill of 1937 (called the Court-packing Bill by its opponents) was a proposal in 1937 by United States President Franklin Delano Roosevelt for power to appoint an extra Supreme Court Justice for every sitting Justice over the age of 70. This was proposed in response to the Supreme Court overturning several of his New Deal measures that proponents claim were designed to help the United States recover from the Great Depression. Increasingly frustrated, FDR sought a constitutional means to change the balance of the Court. www.efireplaces.net /articles/Court_packing   (771 words)

In May, the Court threw out a centerpiece of the New Deal, the National Industrial Recovery Act.

Reader's Companion to American History - -COURT-PACKING PLAN The Court-packing plan (as the judicial reorganization bill was called by its opponents) was submitted to Congress by President Franklin D. Roosevelt on February 5, 1937, shortly after his landslide reelection. Over the next four years, a combination of deaths and retirements enabled Roosevelt to make seven appointments to the Court. Although Roosevelt presented his plan as a simple organizational reform, he was clearly motivated by the consistent opposition that New Deal legislation had been encountering in the federal courts, most notably the Supreme Court's recent invalidation of such laws as the National Industrial Recovery Act, the Railroad Retirement Act, and the Agricultural Adjustment Act. college.hmco.com /history/readerscomp/rcah/html/ah_021300_courtpacking.htm   (771 words)

COURT-PACKING PLAN OF 1937 Roosevelt's proposal to reorganize the federal courts began a year of crisis.

Stop the Bush Court-Packing Plan If these individuals are confirmed for lifetime appointments to the federal courts, the balance of the courts will be skewed for decades to come, putting core worker rights and protections at risk. Kuhl was d eputy solicitor general in the Reagan administration, and in that capacity urged the Supreme Court to overrule its precedent on “associational standing,” which allows unions, environmental groups and other associations to protect the rights of their members in court. In two cases, Pryor was the only attorney general urging the Supreme Court to overturn federal laws on states’ rights, including an attempt to overturn a provision of the Violence Against Women Act, even as 36 states filed a brief supporting the law. www.aflcio.org /issuespolitics/factsheet_ns04242003.cfm   (771 words)

Pickering, Jr., and Texas Supreme Court Justice Priscilla Owen, both of whom were rejected by the Senate Judiciary Committee last year.

The Village Voice: Nation: Liberty Beat: Torture and Death by Nat Hentoff (This is particularly well documented in The New York Times, November 16.) Gonzales, by his mechanical reliance on lethal decisions by those courts, ignored, as Alan Berlow notes, "one of the most basic reasons for clemency: the fact that the justice system makes mistakes." Although the summaries rarely make a recommendation for or against execution, many have a clear prosecutorial bias, and all seem to assume that if an appeals court rejected one or another of the defendant's claims, there is no conceivable rationale for the governor to revisit that claim." That having been done, Gonzales's "tenure as attorney general would allow him to demonstrate his reliability to conservative leaders," so that he could then eventually be nominated to the Supreme Court. www.villagevoice.com /issues/0449/hentoff.php   (771 words)

Volleyball Sand Court Construction Standards should be 3 meters above the court's sand surface and imbedded a meter into the ground using a concrete footing, unless the soil is solid, in which case packing in and washing in the soil and letting it dry should suffice. Ideally the court should be situated with the net running east-west, so the morning and evening sun is not facing directly into the eyes of one team. The drainage point should lead away from the court at the lowest point, taking care to be aware of the natural surrounding slope so you do not trap water with your inclined viewing sides. www.volleyball.org /sandcourt.html   (7640 words)
