Did You Know? In 1937, frustrated with Supreme Court decisions that invalidated New Deal legislation, President Franklin D. Roosevelt proposed the Judiciary Reorganization Bill to empower the President to appoint an additional justice for every sitting justice over the age of 70½. The Judiciary Committee blocked Roosevelt's proposal. Ultimately, however, many New Deal proposals became law.
