		Miller was sensitive to the growing problems of industrialization, urbanization, and, especially, the concentration of capital, and he supported state regulations of business.

		Appointed by Abraham Lincoln to the U.S. Supreme Court during the Civil War, Samuel Freeman Miller (1816–1890) served on the nation’s highest tribunal for twenty-eight tumultuous years and holds a place in legal history as one of the Court’s most influential justices.

		Justice Miller wrote for a majority of five giving the Fourteenth Amendment a narrow construction, and saying that it was doubtful that it would have any application to individuals other than the newly freed slaves.

		Miller's address was remarkable for the candid discussion of contemporary issues which had just been adjudicated by the Supreme Court.
		Miller in particular inveighed against legislative interference with executive powers–in the presence of Congressional delegates and an incumbent and past Chief Executive, and praised the wisdom of the Founding Fathers in making it possible for the judiciary to umpire the relationships of the other two branches.
		Miller's vigorous espousal of a strong central government, with the judiciary as the logical agency for keeping it in balance, aroused the most conservative member of the bench, Justice Stephen Field, to seek an equally important rostrum to offer a rebuttal.

		Owing to the quality of the jokes in Mottley's book, their number increasing with each of the many subsequent editions, any time-worn jest has, somewhat unjustly, come to be called " a Joe Miller."
