History American Presidents – and the Supreme Court Conference at FDR Presidential Library Nov. 11 and 12 2007

HYDE PARK - Former Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, speaking on "The Presidency and the Supreme Court," focused on four historic moments "in which the two large offices (the executive and the judiciary) have intersected, overlapped and even clashed," she said.

The first two involved Thomas Jefferson and the establishment of judicial review by the court and Abraham Lincoln's suspending habeas corpus, or the right to petition for relief from unlawful detention, during the Civil War.

The third centered on FDR and his desire to pack the court with his justice picks.

"He was more than a little annoyed that the justices were giving thumbs down to his legislation," O'Connor said.

The final example took place during the Korean War, when Harry Truman was prevented by the Supreme Court from taking over the steel mills to prevent a strike.

O'Connor was the keynote speaker at the conference organized by the presidential libraries and held at the Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library and Museum in Hyde Park.
