		Stevens served as associate counsel of a House of Representatives subcommittee studying monopoly power in 1951, and from 1953 to 1955 as a member of the attorney general's committee to study antitrust laws.

	John Paul Stevens Biography \| Encyclopedia of World Biography
		John Paul Stevens (born 1920), appointed to the Supreme Court by President Gerald Ford in 1975, became a member of the "liberal" voting group on the Court which included Justices William J. Brennan and Thurgood Marshall.
		Stevens dissented when the Rehnquist court struck down a number of laws passed during the Clinton administration, including the Brady Act restricting handgun purchases and the Violence Against Women Act, which gave women who had been sexually attacked the right to sue their attackers.
		If Stevens was not a jurisprudential or tactical on-bench leader, he was nonetheless an unceasing stimulator of reflection, of innovation, of disciplined literateness (witness his majority opinion for the 5:4 Court in the 1984 "Home Video Taping" case), and of cerebral combat in constitutional law logic and theory.

		Yet Stevens is patently a valuable addition to the Court.
		He is an unceasing stimulator of reflection, of innovation, of disciplined literateness, of cerebral combat in constitutional law, logic, and theory.

		Skolnick adds the indictments have been suppressed from the public due to the sensitivity of issues involved, similar to way indictments against Richard Nixon were suppressed during Watergate.
		Speaking from his Chicago home, Skolnick said Justice Stevens is in town for a speech but also arrived to try and work out a deal in the country’s best interests, considering the gravity and sensitivity of a sitting President being indicted.
		“Stevens is in town to try an arbitrate a solution,” said Skolnick, who has known him since the early 1960’s when Stevens served as special counsel to an investigating commission into one the biggest judicial bribery scandals in U.S. history based in large part on Skolnick’s investigative work.
