Chapter 672

"Mr. President, I think it's up to the FBI to handle it." Hoover looked at Roosevelt with his eagle eyes.

"So far... Who has the right person for the appointment of the new chief of staff?" Roosevelt shifted the subject and threw out a new temptation.

"Mr. President." Hoover stood up and said, "if there is no one to investigate the death of the chief of staff, how can the government convince the people?"

After a deep look at Hoover, Roosevelt calmly said, "it's not giving up the investigation, but everything needs evidence. My FBI Director, do you understand?"

"Yes." Hoover swept the crowd with a cold, disdainful look, and without waiting for Roosevelt to speak, he turned away.

Bang.

The door banged, and people turned to Roosevelt to see his reaction.

The director's performance is more and more rampant, but everyone is very secretive about it. No one knows how much "intelligence" he has in his hands

It is said that even our president has a scandal in his hands.

"We need a new chief of staff of the army, and we'll leave the investigation to the FBI." Roosevelt put an end to it.

But his inner true thought, from the gentle smile can not see the slightest flaw.

……

……

Los Angeles, club 22.

"Have you heard from justice Hugo?" In the office, Li Zitao is having a meeting with the legal department.

"Justice Holmes has promised that he will personally invite justice van der Venter and justice Sutherland and invite them to join Mahdi law firm," said saliev and Mahdi, sitting opposite each other

Mahdi was very excited, yes, very, very excited.

Three Supreme Court justices, senior advisers to Mahdi law firm, is there anything more crazy?

Even if they were replaced by presidents and invited three presidents to serve as advisers, Mahdi would not be so excited.

After all, any president who leaves office will be strictly "protected" from any further political contact. Moreover, they have chosen their ranks and positions before they take up the presidency.

Retired justices, on the other hand, have no position, and their term of office is life-long, and they will leave office only after death, voluntary retirement and impeachment by Congress.

It also means that they have dealt with numerous and varied cases during their long term of office, and they have considered them from the perspective of legislators.

As "judges" at the top of the judicial pyramid in the United States, they will have a better understanding of what these people are thinking, how they will do it, and how they view a problem.

Justice Holmes became a lawyer in 1866 and served as the Supreme Court justice of the United States in 1902. He retired in 1932.

Justice van der win served on the Supreme Court for 23 years and justice Sutherland for more than 26 years.

After the case in their hands is based on 100000, but these experiences can not be bought for much money.

"We need only professional guidance and advice, as well as their contacts. The three judges are not young, so it will be very risky to travel back and forth."

Investment will pay off. They are all old men in their prime years. Li Zitao doesn't want to hear bad news before they give full play to their waste heat.

There were two justices, Holmes and Hugo, who lobbied for van der Venter and Sutherland, which caused a lot of discussion.

The change of justices in the Supreme Court has always been a top priority in the judicial circle of the United States. Even Washington and Congress will be affected.

After all, the president has been in office for no more than four years, and a young chief justice, capable of at least 30-40 years, has influenced the ideology and judicial direction of the United States in all aspects.

President Roosevelt, who was slapped in the face by nine old people, was the most concerned.

During his term of office, the Supreme Court successively "murdered" all the pillar policies of his new deal, which broke the new deal into pieces and became a joke.

Even the British on the other side of the ocean laughed at him openly in the newspapers, which disgraced Roosevelt and his government.

With his term of office coming to an end next year, Roosevelt's re-election campaign is certain, and he is ready to "go to war" with the Supreme Court.

If it goes well, he will immediately declare war on the Supreme Court and submit his judicial reform plan to Congress after his successful re-election next year.

In fact, even if Li Zitao asked two justices to leave the Supreme Court, Roosevelt would have to carry out his "judicial reform."

The average age of the nine Supreme justices is 71, which is the "court for the elderly" that no one in American history can surpass

Old age, weakness and low energy have made the work of the Supreme Court more and more slow, work piled up, and the chief justice fell asleep at important meetings.In Roosevelt's view, the Supreme Court is like a bloated old man, which should be changed immediately.

Besides, only two out of nine supported him.

Even if Li Zitao asked van der Venter and Sutherland to leave, the Conservatives would still have five votes, and the situation was still unfavorable to Roosevelt.

If we want to really reform the United States, we must first remove the Supreme Court obstacle, which is Roosevelt's idea.

Although neither he nor Congress has the right to fire justices, the number of justices is not constant.

In 1786, there were only six justices in the Supreme Court. By 1800, the number was almost reduced to five. Finally, the government and Congress abandoned the plan.

In the middle of the year, the number increased to seven, and from the seventh president, Andrew Jackson, to nine today. During the American Civil War, there was a precedent to increase the number to 10.

The ignorance of the Supreme Court made Roosevelt put his mind on the 10th person. Since he could increase the number of people from six to nine and then to ten, it seemed that there was no problem in increasing the number of people from nine to eighteen.

Soon word came back that van der Venter and justice Sutherland agreed to Mahadi's offer to serve as senior counsel.

There may be nine people who are not willing to give up their power, but the justices van der Venter and Sutherland are fed up with the endless work.

The reason why they are willing to retire is that they are suffering from illness and their weakening energy.

If Roosevelt and Congress had not cut their retirement wages several times, they would have been enjoying life on the farm.

"Congratulations, Roosevelt." As soon as he got the news, Li called the White House.

Roosevelt was in a good mood and said that he would come to visit the castle some time. However, he only gave a little hint about the Supreme Court and the chief justice.

That kind of performance seems to be taboo, let Li Zitao hang up the phone as if thinking.
