“The repeal of FDR’s programs resulted in a major economic setback and the continuation of the Great Depression into 1939.”

Ya. Remember the 1938 landslide Republican takeover of the House and Senate that led to the repeal of FDR’s programs??? If so, please refresh my memory.

Just off the top of my head I’m thinking wasn’t that an attempt by the Republicans, NOT a successful attempt either as I believe (correct me if I’m wrong please) that is when FDR threatened, should he not get his way to stack SCOTUS, and the Repubs capitulated???
