Corneliabush: add Judges Bill data [need to link to Taft page]

[[Image:JamesMcReynolds.jpg|thumb|right|275px]]

'''James McReynolds''' was a [[U.S. Supreme Court|Supreme Court]] Justice between 1914 and 1941.

He was born on February 3, 1862, in [[Kentucky]]. He graduated from [[Vanderbilt University]] in [[Nashville]], then he studied [[law]] at the University of [[Virginia]]. After graduating in 1884, he went on to work for [[Howell Jackson]], a Tennessee senator. Later he moved to [[Washington D.C.]] where he worked for the [[Attorney General]]. He practiced law in New York, and in 1913, he was named Attorney General by [[Woodrow Wilson]].

According to President & Chief Justice William Howard Taft, Wilson was disappointed in the attitude of (McReynolds) (because) "Mr. Wilson is in favor of a latitudinarian construction of the Constitution of the United States to weaken the protection it should afford against socialistic raids upon property rights, with the direct and inevitable result of paralyzing the initiative and enterprise of capital necessary to the real progress of all."

McReynolds was selected by Taft to write the Judiciary Act of 1925 (often called the "Judges Bill"), together with Justices Van deVanter and Sutherland.

He was one of the "[[Four Horsemen]]" who was willing to declare as unconstitutional the [[liberal]] programs of President [[Franklin D. Roosevelt]]'s [[New Deal]]. He was adamant about the policy of ''[[laissez faire]]''; he believed the [[Constitution]] supported it.

McReynolds never married. He died on August 24, 1946.
