 Earl Warren, Norwegian American
Warren's successor as governor, Goodwin J. Knight, was to relate in later years that Eisenhower had promised Warren the first vacancy on the Supreme Court in return for delivering the California vote to him, but intended to renege when the first vacancy turned out to be in the office of chief justice.
Warren (reflecting the egalitarianism that typifies Norwegians), went over to the man, and greeted him, saying: "My name is Earl Warren — what's yours?" Justice Thurgood Marshall was to recite that incident 25 years later, at the dedication of the Earl Warren College at the University of California at San Diego.
Warren retired from the bench in 1969, and died in 1974, at age 83.

 An Earl Warren shadow sheds some light on Alito - The Boston Globe
Warren, who died in 1974, is always on the minds of conservative presidents and senators reviewing Supreme Court nominations, since he established the trend of Republican court picks shocking their sponsors by turning out to be liberal jurists.
Warren served as chief justice at a time --1953 to 1969 -- when most of the court's quarrels were with state governments whose racially tinged practices ran afoul of the Constitution, at least in Warren's view.
Warren, who was at heart a politician and who regretted never having become president, would probably welcome having this piece of his legacy aired at Alito's confirmation hearings -- knowing that it would be broadly defended, probably even by a backtracking Alito.

 06.08.2004 - UC Berkeley launches oral history project on Earl Warren's clerks
Warren was chosen to head a commission investigating the 1963 assassination of President John F. Kennedy, and its finding of no conspiracy to kill the president remains controversial today.

Many of the surviving Warren clerks have signed on to the project, said Laura McCreery, who is directing the project for the oral history office, a research division of UC Berkeley's Bancroft Library.

WARREN: Well, I wouldn't want to say that he said that, but I just had the idea that he thought it was pretty hasty, you know, and that he could feel this pressure building up.
WARREN: Well, I think one reason, the main reason, that he was elected was because he was such a plain and simple man, going out on his own, on a whirlwind trip to talk with the people, whereas Governor Dewey was talking at them, and there's a great difference.
WARREN: Well, I think that his position--at the time that he was in there--is a perfectly reasonable one and I think the platform on which he ran in 1948 spelled that out in very good form.

 Arnold, son of Earl
Schwarzenegger and Warren make an odd couple, but in their eagerness to take on special interests, reform California politics and offer a nonpartisan style of governing, the Austrian-born bodybuilder and the husky future chief justice of the U.S. Supreme Court are kindred spirits separated by 60 years.

In his first address to the Legislature in 1943, Warren thundered, "Let's cut out all the dry rot of petty politics, partisan jockeying, inaction, dictatorial stubbornness and opportunistic thinking." Rigid Republican conservatives were frustrated by Warren's willingness to work with reformers from both parties.
Earl Warren would be proud to see his centrist legacy continued by such a worthy successor.
