When a situation exists in the Supreme Court which the President feels he cannot continue to ignore it is to the Congress that he may properly bring the problem.
The responsibility upon Congress for seeing that the American people have a workable, harmonious, and cooperative judicial system is so usually overlooked by those engaged in building up the tradition of judicial supremacy that the burden of constitutional responsibility on Congress deserves examination.
