Talk:The switch in time that saved nine

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Nature vs. Size

I changed the last phrase from "nine-Justice nature of the Supreme Court" to the size of the Supreme Court; I did this in part because the size of the Supreme Court has changed many times over the years, and so I do not think it is truly part of the "nature" of the Supreme Court.

[edit] See Also

Should direct readers to see also: Bruce Ackerman, "WE THE PEOPLE: Foundations" for a discussion of the overarching political impetus and ramifications of this change.

[edit] Debate among historians

I re-edited the paragraph adding the debate among historians; it should be in the same paragraph as the regular view, I think. The extra paragraph also pointed to the fact that following the switch the court voted to uphold New Deal legislation, but that was already addressed by a change in the composition of the Court.
