ABSTRACT
The Constitution ordained a Supreme Court, but left its establishment to the lawmaking body. The Court came into existence through a statute voted by a majority of each house of Congress and approved by the president in 1789. Supreme Court justices recognize that they are part of a government set up by the American people. The Supreme Court itself goes on trial. Denunciation of the Supreme Court hit the newspapers promptly after the first decisions in the Segregation cases were announced. The congressmen charged the Supreme Court with having substituted "naked power" for power regulated by law. Legislation has since been adopted to evade some of the consequences of the Court's decisions relating to loyalty and subversion. The Supreme Court has dealt a succession of blows at key points of the legislative structure erected by the Congress for the protection of the internal security of the United States against the world Communist conspiracy.
