Lvecutive to impose will on the* Legislative Branch and to make Congress what has been termed “a rubber stamp." Another threat has been willingness of the Supreme Court tp usurp legislative functions and write new law under the guise of interpreting either the Constitution or some Act of Congress. One example of this was the decision which upheld the Wage— and Hour Law, and in so doing wiped out, to all intents and purposes, the previous distinctions between inter-state and intra-state, commerce. Under that ruling the Federal Government has asserted the right to jurisdiction over the wages paid an elevator operator in a building because some of the passengers he carries up and down may do business outside of the State. The anti-segregation decision is another move in the same direction, since it asserts the right of the Federal Government to go into a community and tell locally elected School Boards how they must assign pupils to the &hooI buildings constructed with local tax funds.
If the Court felt it was its duty to thus invade the legislative field because the Attorney General of the United States, although the .. United States was not a party to the litigation, solemnly told the Court it was its duty to strike down the segregation laws, this raises the possibility that the court, rather than the Congress, may be made a "rubber-stamp" for a reform-minded executive.
