F.D.R. nationalized the coal mines during World War II. The Supreme Court told him he couldn't do it. Then he tried to "pack the court" (i.e. appoint extra judges) and Congress said he couldn't do that.

Not our finest hour... in fact, a low point in American democracy not equalled until this past December. (I'm an equal-opportunity malcontent. )
