The Supreme Court Stopped One Marxist

Sunday Paper - November 1st, 2009

Once upon a time a newly elected President, supported by an adoring media, claimed powers beyond the Constitution, and the Supreme Court acted.

Does that Court still sit? Some of us are asking ourselves that question these days. A week doesn’t pass when some new federal infringement on the rights of a free society is enacted or promoted. Just recently, Obama’s Pay Czar, Kenneth Feinberg, cut the salaries of twenty-five senior Wall Street executives. By what Constitutional authority does he do that? we ask.

Franklin Delano Roosevelt could do no wrong in the honeymoon period after his election victory in 1932.  In a crisis management response to a genuine economic emergency — a style being mimicked by the Obama administration in a less onerous setting — Congress passed The National Industrial Recovery Act of 1933 (NIRA). The NIRA was administered by the National Recovery Administration (NRA). Through complex wage, price and industrial codes, its task was to regulate the economy out of the Great Depression. Its regulatory codes were established as penal statutes. Obey, or face a fine, even imprisonment. The overall goal, odd as it seems now, was to raise prices and reduce production — a dumb strategy to stimulate a sick economy.

This grandiose example of central planning came at a time when socialist central planners were in vogue worldwide. Hitler was building the German economy, for war. Stalin was collectivizing the USSR, for tyrannical control. Mussolini, a darling of the American media then, was making the Italian trains run on time. And, in the 1943 California gubernatorial election, former Socialist Party member Upton Sinclair, running as a Democrat, received 880,000 votes, while the Progressive candidate got 300,000. Combined, they garnered more votes than the victorious Republican. These were watershed days in America…
