EDITORS COMMENTS
The cartoon print titled "All I Said Was Gimme Six More Justices!" by Clifford K. Berryman captures the intense opposition faced by President Franklin D. Roosevelt's Supreme Court reform plan in 1937, commonly known as "Court-packing". The image depicts a Democratic donkey, symbolizing the party, kicking up a storm of controversy and resistance against the proposed plan. In this powerful political cartoon, Berryman skillfully portrays the donkey as an agitated and defiant creature, representing the Democratic Party's fierce objection to Roosevelt's attempt to expand the number of justices on the Supreme Court. The donkey's forceful kick signifies their determination to resist any alteration that could potentially undermine or politicize one of America's most revered institutions. Roosevelt sought to add six more justices to counterbalance what he perceived as conservative bias within the court towards his New Deal policies. However, this move was met with widespread criticism from both Republicans and Democrats who viewed it as an encroachment upon judicial independence. Berryman effectively conveys through his artwork how contentious and divisive this issue was during its time. The cartoon serves as a reminder of how even well-intentioned political acts can face vehement opposition when they challenge established norms or threaten institutional balance. Overall, this thought-provoking illustration encapsulates a pivotal moment in American history where questions surrounding power dynamics between branches of government were fiercely debated and ultimately shaped future legal precedents.
