Answer :

Justice of political power are different ways of connecting them.

For example, you increase the number of Constitutional Court member, you bring up a selection or appointment system to ensure that judges who share the same opinion with you of new members.US President Franklin D. Roosevelt had tried it. In 1936, Roosevelt was elected president for the second time when the economic crisis in the country issuing the "New Deal" was passing through a new phase of the program. However, the law after another was being canceled out by the US Supreme Court.In 1937 the White House Council of Ministers and a meeting with Congress's leading lawmakers "judicial reform" bill offered. Accordingly, the members of the Supreme Court in excess of 70 years old (no age limit in the US Supreme Court), rather than each member agrees to be retired, the President would have the authority to appoint a new member. Thus 9 members could increase the number of members of the Supreme Court up to a maximum of 15 members. That time is six to 70 years of age of 9 members, the law does not enter into force, the President could appoint six new members.In his speech President Roosevelt while the bill, election results showed that public support for reform, but reform of the Supreme Court that prevent the entry into force, it must be said therefore that the restructuring of the Supreme Court. 4 In his speech at the Washington Supreme Court in March complained to the public.
