HOMER S. CUMMINGS

The real difficulty is not with the Constitution but with the judges who interpret it.

The administration cannot very well let its social program down because of adverse Supreme Court decisions .

The case was always a difficult one, but the form the opinions took would seem to indicate such a marked cleavage in the Supreme Court that it may be, and probably is, a forecast of what we may expect with reference to almost any form of social legislation that Congress may enact. Apparently there are at least four justices who are against any attempt to use the power of the federal government for bettering general conditions, except within the narrowest limitations. This is a terrific handicap and brings up again, rather acutely, matters we have previously discussed, including a proposed constitutional amendment .

Show me a man who doesn't want his gun registered and I'll show you a man ought not to have a gun.

Delay in the administration of justice is the outstanding defect of our Federal judicial system. It has been a cause of concern to practically every one of my predecessors in office. It has exasperated the bench, the bar, the business community and the public.... To speed justice, to bring it within the reach of every citizen, to free it of unnecessary entanglements and delays, are primary obligations of our government.

The path to an amendment to the Constitution is a thorny one.
