Chief Justice Stone Stone made such a favorable impression upon the Senators that he was confirmed by a vote of 71 to 6. Stone shouldered his part of the work, and during his five years as chief, he wrote 145 opinions (more per term than any of the other justices), 96 of which were for the Court. Stone's insistence that the justices should be controlled by an informed sense of judicial self‑restraint was just as applicable to the new liberal Court as it had been to the old conservative Court. fp.okstate.edu /vestal/polsci4983/Articles/Chief_Justice_Stone.htm   (3821 words)

AmericanHeritage.com / F.D.R. vs. the Supreme Court The liberal wing, consisting of Justices Brandeis, Harlan F. Stone, and Benjamin N. Cardozo, was more inclined to give Congress a free rein unless it had flagrantly overreached the limits of its power. Stone and his liberal brethren dissented with unusual vehemence, and subsequent judicial thinking tends to support their conclusions if not the bite in Stone’s words. Before F. R.’s death in 1945 he had named seven of the nine members of the court and had elevated Stone to the chief justiceship. www.americanheritage.com /articles/magazine/ah/1958/3/1958_3_24.shtml   (4271 words)

The Supreme Court Historical Society The senior among them was Samuel F. Miller, who had been appointed by Lincoln, and whose career, incidentally, is an exciting story of American life, because Miller started out as a physician, practiced medicine for ten-odd years, twelve-odd years, until he became a lawyer and in very quick order a Justice of the Supreme Court. Chief Justice Stone is, of course, the antithesis, in the fate that was allotted to him, to Marshall and Taney and Fuller. If you're only Chief Justice for five years, as Stone was, even though you come to the chief justiceship after having been an Associate, the opportunities to capitalize on the moral opportunities that place gives you are necessarily very limited. www.supremecourthistory.org /04_library/subs_volumes/04_c16_c.html   (4224 words)

The Constitution of Status-- Part IV Justice Stone's emphasis on "minorities" is connected to his view that democracy can ordinarily be expected to remedy unjust legislation. The condition Stone speaks of is "special" because it is a case where democratic procedures cannot be expected eventually to lead to a more democratic form of social organization. Today we tend to read Justice Stone's words in light of the doctrinal glosses on equal protection that came afterwards: a relatively rigid system consisting of three tiers of scrutiny, with their accompanying verbal formulae. www.yale.edu /lawweb/jbalkin/articles/status4.htm   (3630 words)

Name origins of Harlan First of all, substantial numbers of Harlans, Harlands and Harlanders are found in Germany, and it seems certain that some of their relatives would have come to the United States. It often occurs combined with stone, as in Harston, Hoarstone, Horston, and 'hoarstone', literally 'a grey lichen-covered stone', came to be a technical term for such a stone as a boundary mark. Perhaps the notion of 'boundary wood' arises because such a boundary was marked by a stone; a cairn; or a grove of trees. www.harlanfamily.org /name.htm   (2773 words)

Religious Liberty Archive : Rothgerber Johnson & Lyons LLP, Colorado Springs, CO Frankfurter did not believe it was the business of the federal judiciary to issue such an exemption; for that, Frankfurter believed, a complaining party must go to the relevant legislative body. The only other opinion in the case was a dissent by Justice Harlan Stone, who argued that it was indeed the job of the judiciary to demand a reasonable accommodation between the interests of government and the interests of liberty. As will be seen in Justice Robert Jackson's opinion for the Court in Barnette, the flag-salute cases may also be understood in a different way: in terms not of a free-exercise claim but of government authority to compel any American to profess certain words or ideas. www.churchstatelaw.com /commentaries/minersvillesdvgobitis.asp   (535 words)
