In the first, you talk about "restricting provisions" and in the second one, you talk about "regulating relations".1. I haven't seen the film....but would like to remind that there were Democrats, who were still loyal to the Constitution...you know...prior to the current iteration of the Democrat Party, who vehemently objected to Roosevelt's power grab.
But, sadly, Roosevelt's threat worked, the Supreme Court bowed and succumbed to Roosevelt's whip.
2. To see the abject cowardice of the Justices, note that in invalidating the Guffey-Vinson Coal Act on May 18, 1936, less than a year before Roosevelt attempted to pack the court, Justice Charles Evans Hughes said that federal laws restricting local labor relations provisions were unconstitutional, that "the relations of employer and employee is a local relation" and "the evils are all local evils over which the federal government has no legislative control."
He went on to say "Otherwise in view of the multitude of indirect effects Congress in its discretion could assume control of virtually all of the activities of the people to the subversion of the fundamental principles of the Constitution." And..."...it is not for the court to amend the Constitution by judicial decision."
Atta boy, Hughes!!!
The US Constitution is inviolable!!!
Sort of......
3. Proof of Roosevelt's total control of another branch of government came just eleven months later: the very same Chief Justice Hughes, spoke for the majority in finding the Wagner Labor Relations Act constitutional.
Yes, he said...Congress could regulate labor relations in manufacturing plants.
Roosevelt destroyed the independence of the Supreme Court.
And so we became an America without checks and balances.
That is the legacy of Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
Safety first.The legacy of FDR was and is one of hope....
Oh yeah, the US CITIZENS in his concentration camps must have been brimming with "hope."
You're the one turning a spelling error into something...anything...to deflect from your discredited nonsense."Hagel"???????????
You imbecile.
Of course it was largely political, many Californians wanted them out of agriculture and out of the state. The Daughters of the Golden West. and other organizations put pressure on Warren to lock em up. The San Francisco Chronicle warned of the Yellow Peril in headlines, and politicians knew there were votes there. Teddy Roosevelt had made a deal with Japan to restrict Japanese passports to America. The period is filled with those political moves.The Japanese-Americans spent a lot of time, and blood erasing the prejudice that had been directed at them in the prewar and war periods. I hope some simple whiners are not going to destroy any of those good feelings that the 442nd and others earned the hard way in erasing that prejudice. The country has apologized and admitted it was wrong, and most recognize that there were many wrongs committed in that period, and this is but one.The concern was that things like bridges, refineries and factories could be destroyed by sabotage...
No Japanese American was ever convicted of treason, espionage, or sabotage throughout the war. You fail again.
Fortunately they were placed in protective custody and held at detention facilities....
No, they were deprived of their constitutional rights and thrown into that scumbag FDR's concentration camps. Are you a US citizen? Are you up for the same treatment? You know, "for your own good."
Just the opposite.....it is the humanity, or lack of, of Franklin Roosevelt that is in question.

FDR’s abuse of civil rights: wiretapping for security was expanded to tap Republicans…and his wife, Eleanor!
The internment of 110,000 Japanese seems to have been largely political. Earl Warren of California was sensitive to his constituents resenting the large success of the Japanese in agriculture. And, interned, they couldn’t vote against FDR, and he did pick up three House seats…and after the election he began to move for the release of the Japanese.
SCOTUS Justices aren't allowed to change their mind when confronted with new information, when it favors a Democrat.But it worked. Before the bill came to a vote in Congress, two Supreme Court justices came over to the liberal side and by a majority upheld as constitutional the National Labor Relations Act and the Social Security Act.I've been to Warm Springs, and who but the worst cynic wouldn't admire or even love President Roosevelt? He was a great icon in American history. Whatever happened to men like him, Truman, and Kennedy? That was the Democratic Party of old. Today we get America-hating shitbags like Clinton and Obama. We get Marxists who want to destroy America. Roosevelt must be spinning in his grave.
Ever heard of the "Court Packing Scheme"?
No? Neither have the people who made the documentary. Neither has any child in our public schools.
There is a method to the madness.....
"Hagel"???????????
I just know that there are Democrats/Liberals slapping their palms on their foreheads, knowing that an embarrassment like you is in their camp!
Great!
Don't ever change.
In other words: You have no idea what Hegelian dialect is.
"Hagel"???????????
You imbecile.
Haven't you had enough time to do some half ass research on Wikipedia or Google yet. Or do you need to consult a blog?
Dismissed, dope.
No, school is still in session because you haven't learned anything yet.
Why do Right-Wingers hate democracy?I watched episode #2 last night...didn't know TR got the Panama Canal built....I guess it never occurred to me.....I know who gave it away and that it's now being run by the fucking CHINESE....that would be Mr.Peanut.....now the second worst president in our history.
Germans and Italians aren't inscrutable.I said no Japanese-American was ever convicted, you idiot. And by your failed logic ALL Americans of German and Italian ancestry should have been thrown into FDR concentration camps, because they actually committed acts of treason, sabotage, and espionage.
You're an un-American moron.
The interment of Japanese-Americans and Roosevelt's failure to support the anti-lynching bills were big compromises in principal. I can understand his failure to support the anti-lynching bills. Had he spoke out in favor of it, he would not have got a single bill through Congress because southern democrats controlled all the important committees. However, Roosevelt followed the advice of advisers who were wrong about Japanese-Americans. He got most things right, but this wasn't one of them. Protection of Japanese-Americans was an after the fact justification.The concern was that things like bridges, refineries and factories could be destroyed by sabotage...

Fortunately they were placed in protective custody and held at detention facilities so they never got the chance.
Roosevelt was greatly hated by the Right Wing and Republicans when he was President.I've been to Warm Springs, and who but the worst cynic wouldn't admire or even love President Roosevelt? He was a great icon in American history. Whatever happened to men like him, Truman, and Kennedy? That was the Democratic Party of old. Today we get America-hating shitbags like Clinton and Obama. We get Marxists who want to destroy America. Roosevelt must be spinning in his grave.
Get out and travel a bit all you FDR detractors. His public works projects built thousands of beautiful post offices, court houses, and thousands of beautiful campgrounds for which I will ever be grateful. He put millions of people to work, including painters, writers, and poets. And look at the quality of what all those people produced. For his day, FDR probably pumped more American dollars back into America than any other president. His legacy is secure. He was a great president who loved this country. He didn't poison the wells like latter day democrat presidents. There was nothing hateful about the man.
He was the worst scumbag to ever soil the office of President of the United States of America, and one of the greatest threats to our Republic.

But, glory be, most or much of that prejudice was wiped out by the 442nd.

Did you post it, as corroboration for the argument you are making?again: is it from one of your links?It's not from one of your links?You imbecile....that was some one else's post.
Foot in your mouth again, huh?
I've already exposed how 'galactically stupid' you are....and now you've added 'totally dishonest' to your resume.
I did not write what you claimed I did.
The proper response would have been an apology, and a correction.
Who taught you manners?
You have difficulty answering direct questions. Every time I ask you one and you tap dance instead, it's just more proof that I'm winning the argument.
Did I write what you claimed I wrote....or did someone else?
Answer the question.
And you've got a lot of nerve asking anyone to answer a question while ignoring mine for the past 200 posts.
Here it is for the 6th time:
Which countries did NOT recognize Stalin as the leader of the USSR?

When the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor and we are at war, what an opportunity for evil politics, our safety was at stake. FDR was political too.
But, glory be, most or much of that prejudice was wiped out by the 442nd. No whining, and doing probably the best possible act to reduce that long period of prejudice, fight for the United States. One battalion and one regiment and lots of casualties and bingo.
Well, lets just say the 442nd. wiped out prejudice for many, maybe not you, but for others. But I gotta admit your arguments are pretty overwhelming.[
But, glory be, most or much of that prejudice was wiped out by the 442nd.
No it wasn't, you childish simpleton.
The series I concluded was wonderful in so many ways, in traditional Ken Burns style but according to this scholar, much was left out, that would have painted a different historical picture:If you wonder why you aren't taken seriously, it's sentences like that.Stalin refused to allow FDR to communicate with him.
Where it not for ignorance, you'd be agreeing with me.
