Summary[edit]

Description

Part 1: The Perils of Cronyism

A summary of the Supreme Court's place in United States society through the lenses of white supremacy and the process of nominating new justices. It covers the development of African-American-driven civil rights case law as a pressure on American politics. Ultimately, Part 1 is about what lead to the Warren Court's famously liberal rulings, the effects those rulings had on the United States, and then the retirement of Earl Warren. President Lyndon Johnson's preference for promoting his loyal followers, including Abe Fortas, lead to a delay in Warren's retirement that allowed President Nixon choose Warren's successor. This, alongside  social factors also explored, lead to a sharp right-wing turn for the Court. (2020-02-24)

Part 2: Nixon Scores in Court

In the aftermath of the 1968 election, Richard Nixon was President of the United States and John Mitchell was his Attorney General. Chief Justice Earl Warren followed through on retiring from the Supreme Court, and Associate Justice Abe Fortas was forced out of his seat by a wave of scandal at almost the same time. In his wake, Nixon's first nominee, Warren Burger, ascended remarkably easily to become Chief Justice. However, things became far more complicated when Nixon tried to make good on the Southern Strategy's promises by nominating a strict constructionist from the South. Clement Haynsworth, Jr. and G. Harrold Carswell weren't destined to be justices, but their brush with power revealed a lot about the politics of modern Supreme Court nominations and Nixon's plans to engineer a sharp right-wing turn for the Court.
