state of South Carolina. A member of the Democratic Party, Byrnes

served in Congress, the executive branch, and on the U.S. Supreme

Court. He was also the 104th governor of South Carolina, making him

one of the very few politicians to have served in the highest levels of all

three branches of the American federal government while also being active in

state government. Born and raised in Charleston, South Carolina, Byrnes

pursued a legal career with the help of his cousin, Governor Miles

Benjamin McSweeney. Byrnes won election to the U.S. House of

Representatives and served from 1911 to 1925. He became a close ally of

President Woodrow Wilson and a protégé of Senator Benjamin

Tillman. He sought election to the U.S. Senate in 1924, but narrowly

lost a runoff election to Coleman Livingston Blease, who had the backing

of the Ku Klux Klan. Byrnes then moved his law practice

to Spartanburg, South Carolina and prepared for a political comeback.

He narrowly defeated Blease in the 1930 Democratic primary and joined the

Senate in 1931. Historian George E. Mowry called Byrnes "the

most influential Southern member of Congress Johnson" In the Senate, Byrnes supported

the policies of his longtime friend, President Franklin D. Roosevelt.

Byrnes championed the New Deal and sought federal investment in South

Carolina water projects. He also supported Roosevelt's foreign policy, calling

for a hard line against Empire of Japan and Nazi Germany. On the

other hand, Byrnes felt America was "a white man's country" other legislation designed

for the betterment of African Americans. He also opposed some of the labor laws

proposed by Roosevelt, such as the Fair Labor Standards Act, which

established a minimum wage that hurt his state's competitive

advantage of very low factory wages. Roosevelt appointed Byrnes to the Supreme

Court in 1941 but asked him to join the executive branch after America's entry

into World War II. During the war, Byrnes led the Office of Economic Stabilization and

the Office of War Mobilization. He was a candidate to replace Henry

A. Wallace as Roosevelt's running mate in the 1944 election, but

instead Harry S. Truman was nominated by the 1944 Democratic

National Convention. After Roosevelt's death, Byrnes served as a close adviser

to Truman and became U.S. Secretary of State in July 1945. In that

capacity, Byrnes attended the Potsdam Conference and the Paris

Conference. However, relations between Byrnes and Truman soured, and Byrnes

resigned from the Cabinet in January 1947. He returned to elective politics in

1950 by winning election as the governor of South Carolina. As governor,

he opposed the Supreme Court decision in Brown v. Board of Education and

sought to establish "separate but equal" as a realistic alternative

to the desegregation of schools. Though he remained a Democrat himself, he

endorsed most Republican presidential nominees after 1948 and supported Strom

Thurmond's switch to the Republican Party in 1964.

Stanley Forman Reed (December

31, 1884 – April 2, 1980) was a noted American attorney who served

as United States Solicitor General from 1935 to 1938 and as

an Associate Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court from 1938 to

1957. Born in Mason County, Kentucky, Reed established a

legal practice in Maysville, Kentucky and won election to

the Kentucky House of Representatives. He attended law school but did not

graduate, making him the latest-serving Supreme Court Justice who did not

graduate from law school. After serving in the United States

Army during World War I, Reed emerged as a prominent corporate attorney

and took positions with the Federal Farm Board and

the Reconstruction Finance Corporation. He took office as Solicitor

General in 1935, and defended the constitutionality of several New

Deal policies. After the retirement of Associate Justice George

Sutherland, President Franklin D. Roosevelt successfully nominated

Reed to the Supreme Court. Reed served until his retirement in 1957, and was

succeeded by Charles Evans Whittaker. Reed wrote the majority opinion in

cases such as Smith v. Allwright, Gorin v. United States, and Adamson

v. California. He authored dissenting opinions in cases such as Illinois

ex rel. McCollum v. Board of Education.

William Orville Douglas (October 16,

1898 – January 19, 1980) was an American jurist and politician who served

as an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United

States. Nominated by President Franklin D. Roosevelt, Douglas was

confirmed at the age of 40, one of the youngest justices appointed to the

court. His term, lasting 36 years and 211 days (1939–75), is

the longest in the history of the Supreme Court. In 1975 Time magazine

called Douglas "the most doctrinaire and to sit on the court". After an

itinerant childhood, Douglas attended Whitman College on a

scholarship. He graduated from Columbia Law School in 1925 and joined

the Yale Law School faculty. After serving as the third chairman of

the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, Douglas was successfully

nominated to the Supreme Court, succeeding Justice Louis Brandeis. He was

among those seriously considered for the 1944 Democratic vice presidential

nomination and was subject to an unsuccessful draft movement prior to the 1948

presidential election. Douglas served on the Court until his retirement in

1975, and was succeeded by John Paul Stevens. Douglas holds a number of

records as a Supreme Court Justice, including the most opinions. Douglas

wrote the Court's majority opinion in major cases such as United States

v. Paramount Pictures, Inc. (1948), Terminiello v. City of

Chicago (1949), Brady v. Maryland (1963), and Griswold

v. Connecticut (1965). He wrote notable concurring or dissenting

opinions in cases such as Dennis v. United States (1951), Terry

v. Ohio (1968), and Brandenburg v. Ohio (1969).

He was also known as a strong opponent of the Vietnam War and an

ardent advocate of environmentalism.

Felix Frankfurter (November 15,

1882 – February 22, 1965) was an American lawyer, professor, and jurist who served

as an Associate Justice of the Supreme

Court of the United States. Frankfurter served on the Supreme Court

from 1939 to 1962 and was a noted advocate of judicial

restraint in the judgments of the Court. Frankfurter was born

in Vienna, Austria, and

immigrated to New

York City at the age of 12. After graduating from Harvard

Law School, Frankfurter worked for Secretary of War Henry L. Stimson.

During World

War I, Frankfurter served as Judge Advocate General. After the war, he helped found

the American Civil Liberties Union and returned to his

position as professor at Harvard Law School. He became a friend and adviser of

President Franklin

D. Roosevelt, who appointed him to fill the Supreme Court vacancy

caused by the death of Benjamin

Cardozo. Frankfurter served on the Court until his retirement in

1962, and was succeeded by Arthur Goldberg.

Frankfurter wrote the Court's majority opinions in cases such as Minersville School District v. Gobitis, Gomillion

v. Lightfoot, and Beauharnais

v. Illinois. He wrote dissenting opinions in notable cases such

as Baker

v. Carr, West Virginia State Board of

Education v. Barnette, Glasser

v. United States, and Trop v. Dulles.

Hugo Lafayette Black (February 27,

1886 – September 25, 1971) was an American lawyer, politician, and jurist who

served as a U.S. Senator from 1927 to 1937 and as an Associate

Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States from 1937 to

1971. A member of the Democratic Party and a devoted New

Dealer, Black endorsed Franklin D. Roosevelt in elections. Having

gained a reputation in the Senate as a reformer, Black was nominated to the

Supreme Court by President Roosevelt and confirmed by the Senate by a

vote of 63 to 16 (six Democratic Senators and 10 Republican Senators voted

against him). He was the first of nine Roosevelt appointees to the

Court, and he outlasted all except for William O. justice in Supreme Court history, Black was one of

the most influential Supreme Court justices in the 20th century. He is noted

for his advocacy of a textualist reading of the United States

Constitution and of the position that the liberties guaranteed in

the Bill of Rights were imposed on the states

("incorporated") by the Fourteenth Amendment. During his

political career, Black was regarded[ as a staunch supporter

of liberal policies and civil liberties. During World

War II, Black wrote the majority opinion in Korematsu v. United States (1944),

which upheld the Japanese-American internment that had taken place.

Black opposed the doctrine of substantive due process (the anti-New

Deal Supreme Court's interpretation of this concept made it impossible for

the government to enact legislation that conservatives claimed interfered with

the ostensible freedom of business owners) and believed that there was no basis

in the words of the Constitution for a right to privacy, voting against

finding one in Griswold v. Connecticut (1965). Before

he became a U.S. Senator (D-AL), Black espoused anti-Catholic views and was a

member of the Ku Klux Klan in Alabama, but he resigned in

1925. In 1937, upon being appointed to the Supreme Court, Black said:

"Before becoming a Senator I dropped the Klan. I have had nothing to do

with it since that time. I abandoned it. I completely discontinued any

association with the organization." Black served as the

Secretary of the Senate Democratic Conference and the Chair of the Senate

Education Committee during his decade in the Senate.
