I'm just finished with a few days of research in the archives of the FDR Library, Hyde Park, New York. I found several sources that augment and confirm my account of the 1937 court-packing crisis.
In connection with this research trip, I reread my article quite carefully. I submit that my article is the best article-length explanation of the crisis and, more particularly, of its resolution--thanks, I argue, to two acts sponsored by the subject of my biography project, Congressman Hatton W. Sumners--available today.
Josiah M. Daniel, III, “What I Said Was ‘Here Is Where I Cash In’”: the Instrumental Role of Congressman Hatton Sumners in the Resolution of the 1937 Court-Packing Crisis, 54 John Marshall L. Rev. 379 (2021).
