harry truman has supported roosevelt's so-called court packing plan. that was the end of the day litmus test. roosevelt said, we'll, if everyone can get along with senator truman, he can be on the ticket. he did not oppose the judicial reform plan. truman became president so suddenly. he uses this first nomination is a chance to seek some political unity. not just in washington, but in america as a whole. americans were than allowed to openly say that there should be republican or democratic nominee. >> one of the things that i really like about the book is that the truman court story is great. there's also these little bits of history that are dropped in. sometimes irrelevant, sometimes they're sidebars. look at how much has changed, how much has not changed. one of the things it comes to mind with putin was that you are writing a book. truman and burton shared a belief that the government had threats. that was even at the expense of individual liberties. was that a common thing at the time? a democrat and republican agreed on something that profound.

so the very successful nomination for harry truman. truman and harold burton they're friendly not the way his later nominees were friends print this was a political masterpiece by the president who is viewed by millions of americans who was the senator from missouri, and other senators refuse some other centers refused to recognize him as a senator. even some senior staffer said he sent over here bite gangsters. and then he was elected in his own right and strongly reelected to be the senator from missouri. and chosen by the first, second and possibly even his third choice. but harry truman had supported he had supported roosevelt's court packing plan. that was famous. everyone can get along with senator truman, he can be on the ticket because he did not oppose my judicial reforms. in truman becomes a president suddenly. uses this first nomination as a chance to seek some political unity. not just in washington but america as a whole. because americans then were led to openly say there should be a republican or democrat nominee to the c
