Changes

On January 23, 1935, Short spoke to the House chamber. He claimed that the lawmakers had "degenerated into a supine, subservient, soporific, superfluous, supercilious, pusillanimous body of nitwits, the greatest ever gathered beneath the dome of our National Capitol, who cowardly abdicate their powers and, in violation of their oaths to protect and defend the Constitution against all of the Nation's enemies, both foreign and domestic, turn over these constitutional prerogatives, not only granted but imposed upon them, to a group of tax-eating, conceited autocratic bureaucrats, a bunch of theoretical, intellectual, professorial nincompoops out of [[Columbia University]], at the other end of Pennsylvania Avenue who were never elected by the American people to any office and who are responsible to no constituency. These 'brain trusters' and 'new dealers' are the ones who wrote this resolution, instead of the Members of this House whose duty it is, and whose sole duty it is, to draft legislation."<ref>''Congressional Record,'' January 23, 1935.</ref>
