WILLIAM J. BRENNAN, JR. (1906-1997), appointed Associate Justice by President
Eisenhower, served from October 6, 1956 until his retirement on July 20, 1990. He believed
that only by making the Constitution a "living document" could America's system of
government keep up with the needs of society -- in direct opposition to the "strict
constructionist" approach of conservative colleagues such as Justices Rehnquist and Scalia. On
July 7, 1981, President Reagan nominated SANDRA DAY O'CONNOR (1930-2023), a
Judge on the Arizona State Court of Appeals, as the first woman Justice in the history of
the U.S. Supreme Court. Confirmed by the Senate 99-0, she was sworn in on September 25,
1981 and still serves on the Court. HARRY A. BLACKMUN (1908-1999) appointed by
President Nixon in 1970, was initially allied with the conservatives on the Court, but is best
remembered for his 1973 majority opinion in Roe v. Wade, legalizing abortion. He
retired in 1994 and died in 1999. Associate Justice BYRON R. WHITE (1917-2002), a
former college and NFL football star, was appointed by President Kennedy. He served
from April 16, 1962 until he retired on June 28, 1993. Lightly creased at corners, black smudge
at middle blank margin, else fine condition.
