Description
Felix Frankfurter served in WW I as a major in the Officers Reserve Corps. In 1917, he became assistant to the Secretary of War. He lobbied President Wilson to support the establishment of a Jewish homeland and helped found the ACLU. In 1939, President Franklin Roosevelt nominated him to the Supreme Court. He was an outspoken advocate of judicial restraint, not imposing limits on the authority of the legislative and executive branches. In Baker v. Carr, Frankfurter believed the federal courts did not have the right to tell sovereign state governments how to apportion their legislature, and the Supreme Court should not get involved in political questions whether federal or local.
US Supreme Court
The Supreme Court of the United States is the highest federal court of the United States, established in 1788 pursuant to Article Three of the U.S. Constitution. It has the ultimate jurisdiction over all federal and state court cases involving federal laws. The Court normally consists of the Chief Justice and eight associate justices, who are nominated by the President and confirmed by the Senate. Justices have lifetime tenure unless they resign, retire, or are removed after impeachment. The Supreme Court is one of the three branches of the federal government which also includes the Executive (President) and Legislative (Senate and House of Representatives).
