Chief Justice of the United States

Earl Warren was a politician and eventually a renown jurist. He served as the 30th Governor of California and the 14th Chief Justice of the U.S. As the 14th Chief Justice, he was in charge of the Warren Court, now known as one of the most liberal courts in the history of the U.S. Warren led landmark decisions like Brown v. Board of Education, Gideon v. Wainwright, Reynolds v. Sims, and Miranda v. Arizona that strengthened the power of the judicial branch to be in par with the other two branches.

This paper will argue why Chief Justice Rehnquist’s quote on the ever expanding authority of the Supreme Court of the United States is an accurate depiction of the social adoption of a third legislative branch.

In 1789, the final draft of the constitution of the United States came into effect. In article three it calls for "[t]he judicial Power of the United States, shall be vested in one Supreme Court, and in such inferior Courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish." In the article it neither says the duties, powers, or any organization of the supreme court. If left this up to congress and to the justices of the court itself for these details.      The

the Constitution of the United States vests judicial power in “one supreme Court”. With incredible adaptability, the Constitution has stood the test of time. Largely due to the limited specificity as to the application of its words, the Constitution has allowed the character of the Court to be historically defined by the individuals who have held the position of “Chief Justice of the United States”. The ideology and individual Constitutional interpretation of each Chief Justice has changed both the

Thomas tried to make up for the scandal by being a different kind of justice. He was the only justice who worked made an effort to know the names of everyone in the court from justices to cafeteria workers. “Despite his friendly demeanor, the Court employees saw how devastated he was by the confirmation battle.” (Tobin 42) Thomas was like Ruth Bader Ginsburg in the fact that he defaulted to being silent.

Acclaim for asserting the United States Supreme Court as a substantial participant in the American structure of government has been ascribed to the guidance of John Marshall as Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court from 1801 to 1835. By 1835, the Supreme Court had attained a level of equality with the prowess and prestige as that of Congress and the Executive that was not present before John Marshall was appointed to the position. Central to this development was the Court 's adoption of

Carl Warren was appointed the 14th Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court in 1953.' Warren was appointed to take the place of the current Chief Justice Fred Vinson who died suddenly of a heart attack.' So, Warren immediately began his term in the Supreme Court and did not get Senate approval with March 1, 1954 on a simple voice vote of the full Senate without any of the typical confirmation hearings by the Senate Judiciary Committee,' This approval process was very noncontroversial and without

Justice Stevens John Paul Stevens served as associate justice of the Supreme Court from 1975 until his retirement in 2010. Throughout his judicial career, Stevens exercised a liberal view in the courtroom and often displayed judicial restraint to the United States Congress. Justice Stevens was appointed by President Ford in 1975 because of his judicial experience and personal confidence. While serving as Associate Justice, Stevens provided opinions on many subjects including the death penalty

two models that we have encountered in this class are the due process model and the law-and-order, or the crime control model. The due process model can be observed, most famously, during the Warren Court in the 1960s, during Warren’s time as Chief Justice the court was most concerned with protecting and extending the rights of the accused. The due process model puts more strain on the prosecution to prove that the criminal’s rights were not infringed upon and that he actually committed the crime
