In February 1937 FDR tried get legislation introduced in congress that would overhaul the federal judiciary. It was a complex bill, but the ultimate outcome of it, if it was passed, would been to add one justice for every judge over the age of 70. It would of swelled the supreme court to 15 justices, 6 of whom would of been appointed by Roosevelt.

And people have a problem with bush's attempts to undermine the court today by appointing people like Roberts...

Interment camps existed on US soil throughout world war II, holding Japanese Americans almost exclusively. Italian and German POW transported to the USA in some instances had more freedom then American citizens of Japanese Ancestry who were held in the camps.

The Agriculture Adjustment Act of 1933 began a massive federal subsidy and agriculture management program intended to stabilize prices. Because the law became effective after the growing season had already began, large amounts of already growing crops were destroyed to bring the agriculture output in line with what was specified by the act.
So, of the consequences of the program was that excess crops were destroyed rather then released to the open market (a infusion of crops would of disrupted the attempts to artificially manage the price of agriculture).

Roosevelt came into power in 1932, but in 1937 and 1938 the Great Depression was almost as bad as it was in the early 1930's. FDR's opponents point to this fact as proof that the New Deal was less then effective at dealing with the depression as popularly thought.
