"William O Douglas was hardly Christian - nor Catholic in good standing I suspect...."

You're certainly right about that.

I wasn't referring to Douglas as a Catholic, I was referring to him as an influence on the mush-headed Blackmun.

Douglas was appointed by FDR to eliminate him as a potential competitor for the presidency. Douglas belonged on the Supreme Court about as much as I belong in the Miss America Pageant!

suspected as much. Did know that Douglas ,like Hugo Black
was among those in th emajority appointed by FDR to change
the Constitution by changing its' interpretation.An act
that seems to me Unconstitutional in light of Marbury v.Madison,1803-but so long as Congress is unwilling to act,
and so long as "we the people" are willing to be crabs in
a crab bucket.What can be done?
