2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: I'm Canceling My Subscription to Sunshine Patriot Thom Hartmann's Program [View all]merrily
(45,251 posts)67. Earl Warren was an Eisenhower appointee. He had been the AG of California who implemented the
Japanese internment and had also run for VP. I have a feeling Eisenhower expected him to be a conservative. He turned into probably the most liberal CJ ever. Eisenhower said nominating Warren was the biggest mistake of his two terms. Of course, Eisenhower was a racist who was ticked off by Brown v. Bd. of Ed. He dragged his feet on enforcing it until people shamed him, including Eleanor Roosevelt going to the WH.
Breyer - nominated by New Dem Clinton
Kagan - nominated by New Dem Obama.
