tonight, sitting at my desk in the white house, i make my first radio report to the people in my second term of office. this was one of fdr s fire side chats taking his message to the american people. in this first one that he did after getting reelected by the closest thing we have to a unanimous vote in this country, he said he wanted to change the u.s. supreme court. he wanted to add more judges to the supreme court and he wanted to give them the president the power to replace sitting justices. it was a radical proposal. listen. those opposing this plan have sought to arouse prejudice and fear by crying that i am seeking to pack the supreme court. if the appointment can be called packing the courts, then i say that i and with me the vast majority of the american people favor doing just that thing-now.
