	William J. Brennan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		William Joseph Brennan (April 25, 1906 – July 24, 1997) was an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States.
		Brennan declared in Furman that he believed the death penalty violated the Eighth Amendment's prohibition on "cruel and unusual" punishment, and for his remaining years on the bench he and Marshall dissented from every case upholding the imposition of the death penalty.
		Brennan's general strategy on cases was to acknowledge the validity of the governmental interest justifying the given law, but to find the law in question not narrowly tailored to achieve that interest.

		But Brennan was more than a voice; he was an instrument of social revolution, a tiny tyrant who exploited his court seat to impose a radical agenda on an America that never seemed to measure up to Bill Brennan's standards.
		Brennan then gave his blessing to racial discrimination against whites in everything from hiring to handing out radio and TV licenses, despite the clear intent of the Civil Rights Act of '64.
