 Warren E. Burger
Burger's tenure will undoubtedly also be recalled for his marginally successful attempts to pull or lead the Court reliably (or predictably) to the judicio-political center - or perhaps even right of center in some areas - away from its predictable liberal-left majoritarian position under his predecessor's leadership.

Burger never backed up his personal opinion (delivered verbally at a press conference for a proposed bill which would have banned *all* handguns) with anything remotely resembling cites or historical references, so we're at a loss as to what he based his opinion on, if indeed he based it on anything at all.
Burger lent his support during a June 25, 1992 news conference in which Senator Chafee introduced his bill to outlaw the sale, manufacture, and possession of all handguns.
Burger is entitled to his opinion, but it's clearly an extreme minority one, even among Supreme Court justices.
