* 1938, Franklin D. Roosevelt appointed Floyd H. Roberts a federal judge in the Virginia area after Senator Carter Glass had objected that he had not been consulted. Roosevelt said that he was happy to consult Glass, but reserved the right to consult others, including, if he wished, "Nancy Astor, the Duchess of Windsor, the WPA, a Virginia moonshiner, Governor Price or Charlie McCarthy." Glass declared the appointment personally offensive and the Senate rejected it. Senator Truman of Missouri supported Glass.
