I Dissent: The Legacy of Chief Justice James Clark McReynolds

James Edward Bond

4.9/5 (11030 ratings)

Description:Had McReynolds resigned from the bench in the early twenties or retired at the end of that decade, his name would barely survive. He would be recalled if at all as one of a dozen or so competent but undistinguished Justices who labored with their more brilliant brethren Field, Brewer, and Taft to maintain the generally conservative mien of the Court for the more than a half century from 1875 to 1935. Because McReynolds chose to remain on the bench for another decade and lead the judicial opposition to the New Deal, his name has survived as the 'greatest judicial failure of any man who ever sat upon the Supreme Court,' the 'Court's greatest human tragedy'." "Who was the real James C. McReynolds? Did he lose his lawyer's skills when he ascended the bench, or did they simply prove inadequate to the demands of the judicial office? Or has his competence been unfairly demeaned because he exercised his skills in behalf of now discredited values? Did he decide the great issues entrusted to the Court on the basis of principle, passion, or prejudice? Did he advocate progressive politics for a convenient political season and then abandon them once he was ensconced on the Court? Or did his progressivism always have sharply defined limits which should have been clear to the astute observer? Was he a bigoted boor or a decent human being?We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
