President Roosevelt tells Supreme Court Justice Harlan that he does not plan on taking action on an appointment until he is able to discuss the matter with some Cabinet officers and Senators. Roosevelt also clarifies a statement he made in a previous letter that some Senators have mentioned to him that Supreme Court Justice David J. Brewer seems to have been setting the stage to address whether an act is unconstitutional, and that if that is the case it would not be good for the son of a justice to be “holding an office under an act upon the constitutionality of which his father, as one of the justices, was to pass.” Roosevelt does not know how much weight he gives the argument, but tells Harlan that it is a matter that he must consider.
