====Opposition to court packing scheme====
:''See: [[Court packing]]
After President Roosevelt's [[liberal]] agenda faced setbacks by the Supreme Court, he proposed a scheme to pack the court by increasing the total number of judges to serve there. Bailey and other conservatives including Roosevelt's own vice president [[John Nance Garner]] fiercely denounced the effort, saying: "To weaken [either the Constitution or the Supreme Court] is to weaken the foundations of our Republic. To destroy either is to destroy the Republic."<ref>Zelizer, Julian E. (October 15, 2018).
