 Bench Memos on National Review Online   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Whittaker, who practiced corporate law quietly in Kansas City for most of his career, was appointed in rapid-fire succession to the U.S. district court (1954), the Eighth Circuit (1956), and the Supreme Court (1957), all at the urging of Herbert Brownell, Eisenhower's attorney general.
Whittaker, 57 when he was appointed, was off the Court five years later (to be replaced by Byron White in 1962).
His tenure was so short because he found the nature of the work on the Court too stressful for him, and he wound up in Walter Reed hospital with a nervous breakdown.

 Deregulator: Musings from a Tar Heel far from Carolina
George Bush is getting semi-friendly advice about the Miers nomination from National Review, the Wall Street Journal and Charles Krauthammer, among others (in other words, DUMP HER!) -- and has chosen to hunker down, notwithstanding the dilemmas this stance poses to his political base.
For one thing, if she indeed goes to Capitol Hill and is confirmed, it'll be tough for a future nominee's supporters to successfully argue (as did adherents of several Bush appointees, including John Roberts) that there should be no religious test for court nominees.
Whittaker, appointed by Eisenhower in 1957, was such a detail freak that he worked 17 hours a day, 7 days a week until he collapsed of a nervous breakdown and had to step aside after five years on the bench.

And, most importantly, his arrival will bring change to every one of the Justices themselves.
Unless Roberts were a forgettable Charles Evans Whittaker, which he definitely is not, he has the capacity from the outset to have a noticeable impact on his colleagues and on the new Court -- as O'Connor and Powell did when they began.
Because Roberts is a nominee of President Bush, and the product of a selection process over which conservative activists had a major influence, there will be a tendency in some circles to suggest that he will find a natural place on the bench with Scalia and Thomas (the President's favorites among the sitting Justices).
