		Stewart wrote in his short concurrence that "hard-core pornography" was hard to define, but that "I know it when I see it." Usually dropped from the quote is the remainder of that sentence, "and the motion picture involved in this case is not that." He later recanted this view in Miller v.

	Statement on the Death of Former Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Potter Stewart was born in 1915 and grew up in Cincinnati, OH, in an atmosphere steeped in the law; indeed, his father, a prominent lawyer and former Cincinnati mayor, once served as a member of the Ohio Supreme Court.
		In 1954 President Eisenhower appointed Potter to the Sixth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, and at 39, Potter became the Nation's youngest Federal judge.
		In a moment of reflection, Potter once remarked, ``I never thought of putting a label on myself, except trying to be a good lawyer.'' It is as a patriot and a good lawyer -- indeed, a brilliant man of the law -- that we remember Justice Potter Stewart this day.

		POTTER STEWART CAME TO the Supreme Court in 1958, appointed by President Eisenhower at the age of forty-three.
		This interview with Justice Stewart was an opportunity to explore the underlying views and beliefs of a man freed from those restraints that properly inhibit one who must hand down judgments based on the law rather than on his own social preferences.
		Ideologically somewhat of a mystery, Stewart had often dissented from rulings intended to enlarge the rights of the accused, yet he invariably ruled for the defense when the Constitution seemed clearly to point him in that direction.

	The Volokh Conspiracy - Hugh Hewitt and Potter Stewart:
		Wade (1973), Justice Stewart stated that he was prepared to accept Griswold as a precedent, and to extend it to cover a right to abortion.
		The only explanation I can think of is that Hewitt isn't really familiar with Stewart's voting record and assumed that Stewart was OK based on the fact that he was a Republican, was friends with Bush 41, and isn't as infamous among conservatives as Warren or Blackmun or Souter.
		Perhaps Hewitt is trying to imply that Miers will vote in the manner Stewart did at the beginning of his tenure, and will retire before she gravitates more towards the "left" (in terms of results), because Miers will hit age 66 only after about 6 years of service.

		Much as Stewart disliked the Court’s being involved in this kind of controversy, this was perhaps an instance where it had to be involved.
		Stewart is most famous for that quintessential statement of ad hoc judging, saying of pornography: “I know it when I see it.” He also joined an opinion striking down all death penalty laws in the country.
