Warren Burger was described above as a "mixed bag". He was adamantly against a woman

Escaped the corral and gone wild.

So if they can do that, why can't we do this?

Although Burger was perceived as a conservative, and the Burger Court delivered some conservative decisions, the Burger Court also delivered some liberal decisions regarding abortion, capital punishment, religious establishment, and school desegregation during his tenure.

Maybe it was because conservatives were always trying to impeach him back in the day.

(18,133 posts)6. You're right -- that's who I was thinking of
I'm so embarrassed that I made a mistake!

(816 posts)7. Warren Burger was described above as a "mixed bag". He was adamantly against a woman
being seated on the Supreme Court, and he despised gays (to put it mildly), joining the majority in 1986 to uphold a Georgia sodomy law.
So it seems Warren Burger hated gun owners, women who believed they were qualified to be on the Supreme Court, and gays.
