| | The Claremont Institute: Al Smith and the Liberalism That Might Have Been |
| | Smith was the first politician of national stature to rise from the ranks of urban immigrants, in his case, the Irish-American immigrants of downtown Manhattan. | | | The magnitude of the drubbing Smith took in 1928 meant that when voters were ready to elect a Democratic president, the choice would not be Smith but his successor as New York governor, FDR. | | | But it is inconceivable that Al Smith of Tammany Hall, where politics and social services were an organic whole, would as President have built such a bureaucratic edifice as Roosevelt did, detached to the greatest extent possible from the vagaries of popular governance. |

| | DAVID SMITH ET AL., APPELLANTS, v. GENERAL ACCIDENT INSURANCE COMPANY, RESPONDENT. |
| | Chief Judge Kaye and Judges Bellacosa, Smith, Levine and Ciparick concur. | | | After the jury returned its verdict in the liability phase of the trial, the most that the carrier ever offered to settle the claim was $300,000, although defendant's own senior claim representatives indicated in an internal memorandum that a jury could realistically return a verdict of $450,000. | | | The insurer objected to the last portion of the charge, arguing that it was inappropriate for the jury to consider whether General Accident had kept its insured informed of the settlement negotiations, because an insurer has no legal duty todo so. |

| | Up from the Streets: Al Smith of New York |
| | Smith was a strong hopeful going into the 1924 Democratic Convention, but was shocked at the strength marshaled against his nomination. | | | It is safe to say that Al Smith passed his interest in social services and humane government on to his successor, Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt. | | | Perhaps Smith took some comfort from the fact that four years later his protoge, Franklin Roosevelt, succeeded where Smith had failed, on a platform remarkably similar to Smith's. |

| | Even Paula Eldot’s book Governor Al Smith: The Politician as Reformer, which argues in favor of Smith’s considerable record in the realm of urban reform, is forced to concede that Smith “was not receptive to progressivism when it threatened the political machine. | | | Prior to entering the post-Walker mayoral race in 1933, Fiorello La Guardia was one of many New York area reformers who attempted to badger Al Smith into running (on a Republican ticket) for the sake of the city. | | | For rising Republican reformer Fiorello La Guardia, the success of the Seabury hearings created the political conditions that enabled his rise to the mayoralty in 1933 — indeed, Mayor La Guardia would choose to take the oath of office at Judge Seabury’s house at the start of each of his three terms. |

| | In weighing the clear interest of respondents Smith and Black (hereinafter respondents) in the free exercise of their religion against Oregon's asserted interest in enforcing its drug laws, it is important to articulate in precise terms the state interest involved. | | | The Free Exercise Clause of the First Amendment, which has been made applicable to the States by incorporation into the Fourteenth Amendment provides that "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof. | | | As we observed in Smith I, however, the conduct at issue in those cases was not prohibited by law. |

Smith, like all political leaders, had to be pushed, but before Smith was Governor, Albany had blocked several single-tax bills, 1909-16, so it is plausible to credit Smith's leadership. | | | In several cases, their rapid growth was associated with George-like policies and attitudes similar to those of NYC under its "Al Smith Law," and its Lawson Purdy assessment practices. |
