| Jackson50 said: Roosevelt also attempted to usurp and control the Supreme Court through the Judiciary Bill of 1937. I find that to be unsettling. |
I've also heard he had the State Department supress news of the Holocaust and didn't even attempt to change immigration laws because of it. He put a former clan member on the Supreme Court. (The clan was not a good thing in the 40's.)
FDR was just horrible when it comes to race issues.
He was racist against the Japanese and just failed the jews in WW2.
See here....
Where FDR proposes that Jewish peolple should have guidlines imposed. That if 2% of the population is jewish. Only 2% of lawyers are allowed to be Jewish.
It's ironic because at the time people thought he was "too close" to be Jewish. His actual followthrough didn't make it happen though. Likely due to fears of relection.
He's definitly no Theodore Roosevelt when it comes to standing up for what he believes in.
