COMMENTS
on
MEN AND THINGS
Government by injunction
should not' be tqJerated in Ameri
ca except in a few instances. The
Tennessee judge who is trying to
throw an injunction around a vast
area is clearly in error. Inciden
tally, sbmeone has inquired
whether it is a requisite that a
judge should be a lawyef. So far
as I know President Eisenhower
could appoint to the bench, even
the supreme bench, a man of no
knowledge of law—and he may
have done so, following in the
footsteps of Presidents Roosevelt
and Truman.
The Supreme Court of today
does'not command the respect ot
lawyers or clients, or people, gen
erally. ’ As the Texas Federal
Judge said recently, the Supreme
Court did not base its anti-segre
gation edict on law; it cited a lot
of crackpot and addle-pated con
clusions of a few muddle-headed
theorists as th e authority for its
decision, and disregarded all the
law of the land, as established
more than fifty ye^.
It is becoming desirable that
we formulate rules for the guid
ance and governance of the Fed-'
e’ral Supreme Court. The Su
preme Court was created by the
Constitution, which provides:
“Judicial power—tenure—com
pensation.—The judicial power of
the United States, shall be .vested
in- one Supreme Court, and in
such inferior courts as the Con
gress may from time to time or
dain and establish. The judges,
both of the Supreme Court and
inferior courts, shall hold their
offices during good behavior, and
shall, at stated times, receive for
their services, a compensation
which shall not be diminished
during their continuance in ot-
fieg.
(1) Judicial power—to what
cases it extends.—The judicial
power shall extend to all cases in
law and equity, arising under this
Constitution, the laws of the Unit
ed States, and treaties made, or
which shall be madd, under their
authority; to all cases affecting
Ambassadors, other public minis
ters and Consuls; to all cases of

The Bennetts live here. That’s Grandmother Ben-
nett’s Bible,on the window sill, and the whole family
goes to the church across the snow covered held.
John Bennett works in the local bank. Martha,
his wife, is president of the PTA, and they have
three lovely children. Grandmother Bennett has
been living with them for the past couple of years,
since she broke her hip. She can’t always get to
church in wintertime and that’s why she calls this
her window. When she can’t be in church, it helps
to be able to see it. ,
To her, the church steeple represents a great many
things, and brings back many memories. Her son was
married in that church. Her husband was buried
from it. Her grandchildren were christened in it.
The Church has helped her to bear grief, in hours
of sorrow; and it has seemed to put a benediction
upon her happiness, in times of joy. Most important
of all, whatever the occasion, whatever the crisis ...
the Church has always been there.
To Grandmother Bennett, the most comforting
thing in the world is knowing that it always will be
there.
