MR. TRUMAN VS. MR. JACKSON

YOUNGSTOWN SHEET & TUBE CO. ET AL. v. SAWYER.
343 U.S. 579
Decided June 2, 1952.


MR. JUSTICE JACKSON, concurring in the judgment and opinion of the Court*.

With all its defects, delays and inconveniences, men have discovered no technique for long preserving free government except that the Executive be under the law, and that the law be made by parliamentary deliberations.


*The Founders of this Nation entrusted the lawmaking power to the Congress alone in both good and bad times. It would do no good to recall the historical events, the fears of power and the hopes for freedom that lay behind their choice. Such a review would but confirm our holding that this seizure order cannot stand.

The judgment of the District Court is affirmed.
