I Got a Good Mind To Cut You Adrift 1957

"I Got a Good Mind To Cut You Adrift" is a 1957 editorial cartoon by Herbert Lawrence Block, also known as Herblock, depicting the relationship between the U.S. Supreme Court and politicians. The cartoon uses visual metaphor to depict the Supreme Court as a large ship, with a single rope attaching it to a small rowboat representing politicians. The caption, "I got a good mind to cut you adrift," suggests the Supreme Court's potential independence from political pressures. This satirical image explores the delicate balance of power and the separation of powers in the American political system.
