WILLIAM O. DOUGLAS
The justice signs this Supreme Court Card in black ink
Inscribed Supreme Court Card signed: "For L. J. Sylvor/ of New York/ Wm O Douglas/ Dec. 16,
1947" in black felt tip, 6x4. William Orville Douglas (1898-1980) served as chairman of
the Securities and Exchange Commission from 1937 to 1939, during which time President
Franklin D. Roosevelt appointed him Associate Justice of the Supreme Court to succeed
Louis D. Brandeis. Justice Douglas's service on the Court totaled 36 years and seven
months, longer than any other justice up until that point. He retired in November 1975 and
died five years later at the age of 81. He was strongly libertarian in his opinions, distrustful
of establishments of all types, and considered himself a voice for the voiceless and powerless.
