::The Court appointments were true economic conservatives, resisting the expansion of federal power & spending. There is a tie in here with McCarthy, CPUSA, & Venona actually; [[Agricultural Adjustment Administration]] was one of the first New Deal programs declared unconstitutional and was riddled with Communists from day one (1933).

*Rob, one needs to be careful of reading too much into history books. The facts are the facts, but assigning motivations are iffy at best. As I am sure Andy can tell you, rarely do politicians, and their appointees look to the future about anything, or have much concept of their actions impacting the future, for good or bad, when they are making political appointments. Connections made to things down the road are suspect, because later events might happen because "X" appointed "Y", it is almost always happenstance, sorry to report. I agree, Andy, the ariticle, sans the suspect citations, and the mostly gossipy account, short account of his death, was mainly ok. I didn't have a problem with your additions, and am in process of reorganizing many things, adding the bullets, etc. --~ [[User:TK|TerryK]] <sup>[[User_talk:TK|MyTalk]]</sup> 23:44, 28 March 2007 (EDT)
