No kidding.

Try ~1935.

SCOTUS closed out one year’s session supporting the Constitution but started the next year off supporting the New Deal.

I’ve often wondered what was the full suite of dirty tricks, extortions and bribes that FDR employed to force that huge of a betrayal.

Try ~1935.

Or 1933, where the SC said this was Constitutional:

I read where some brothers sensed what was coming, or just had good timing, for they converted $20,000 into gold coin. After the edict, the feds tracked them down, seized the coins and refunded their money. The brothers took it to the SC, who said it was OK as they got "value for value" - conveniently forgetting that the gold went from $20 an ounce to $35.
