They were liberal in a different way, and most of them did what FDR told them to do because they were afraid of his "Court Packing Plan" which would add a justice for each justice that exceeded the age of 64, so FDR could appoint and line the court for people who were supportive of his New Deal.
Most of the judges at the time FDR took office were extremely laissez faire and rivaled the libertarianism that you see on 4chan. They didn't have a problem with child labor or really anything, they thought businesses of the early 20th Century during the Progressive Era were GOOD and only GOOD for America. FDR disagreed with this and thought there should be some state policies which help the poor and disadvantaged workers -- lest a Communist rebellion come to the United States.
FDR defused the situation and so he worked on the legislation, the problem however was that these justices didn't want to go along with his plan and reflected the interests of business. FDR said to them -- "hey look you dumbfucks, you're old and decrepit and reflect the old elite society of ruling class and I'm gonna add a member of the court to influence the vote for each one of you shitheads that turns 65" and they got scared and left and made decisions for statist-pro worker policy.
It wasn't until Wickard v. Filburn, 317 U.S. 111 came along to get business pissed off at the Government. But what Wickard v. Filburn, 317 U.S. 111 tried to do was stabilize the economy and the prices of commodities that needed buyers, such as wheat as in Wickard v. Filburn, 317 U.S. 111.
Now here's where we are at in the thread... CONSERVATIVE REHNQUIST COURT used Wickard v. Filburn, 317 U.S. 111 in their decision of United States v. Lopez, 514 U.S. 549 where they took the argument of Wickard and applied it to states that WOULD NOT PROSECUTE MARIJUANA RELATED OFFENSES. The STUPID REHNQUIST/SCALIA/THOMAS FUCKING SHITHEADS MADE THE FOLLOWING ARGUMENT.
The United States Government can control and regulate from a FEDERAL LEVEL to a STATE LEVEL the growth of Marijuana because by Lopez growing Marijuana he IMPACTED THE INTERSTATE COMMERCE OF MARIJUANA BY AFFECTING THE PRICE.
Well, any dipshit out of US Public Education would know it was illegal to grow marijuana in the first place so who the fuck cares about growing it?
CONSERVATIVE REHNQUIST COURT. THATS WHO. NOT FDR's JUDGES LIKE HUGO BLACK.
