The cartoon refers to the Judicial Procedures Reform Bill of 1937, frequently called the "court-packing plan". President Franklin D. Roosevelt proposed this bill in an attempt to get favorable rulings on "new deal" legislation. The Bill ultimately failed after it was held up by the Senate Judiciary Committee by Democratic committee chair Henry F. Ashurst who managed to have the bill held in committee for 165 days. It is believed that the final defeat of the bill was due to the death of it's greatest supporter in the Senate, Senate Majority Leader Joseph T. Robinson. So President Roosevelt did lose the battle of the court packing, but ultimately did win majority control of the Supreme Court because during his 12 year tenure as President, he had appointed 8 of the 9 Justices.

The 1937 cartoon showing Franklin D. Roosevelt with the other two branches is called “The Supreme Court Under Pressure”. It was a cartoon of O. Seibel in 1937. It shows President Roosevelt telling the man representing the Supreme Court, to follow his steps and march or “go on” with the New Deal laws.

It refers to a situation in the same year on the Judicial Procedures Reform Bill, better known as the "court-packing plan". This bill was proposed by Roosevelt to get the acceptation on the recent New Deal legislation. That is why in the cartoon, the artist represents Roosevelt convincingly roll-drumming, marching with the Legislative branch and inviting the Judicial branch to follow his steps.

The bill gave President Roosevelt authority to appoint an additional Judge to the Supreme Court, up to a maximum of six, for every jufge over 70 years old. Although the Supreme Court rejected the bill, Roosevelt could establish a majority on the court.
