ANOTHER MARK LEVIN

Foamer Levin can't stand "activist judges" and on the Jerry Doyle show, I learned Foamer has a supporter, Robert H. Dierker Jr., a sitting Missouri judge who has recently published a book entitled:

The Tyranny of Tolerance: A Sitting Judge Breaks the Code of Silence to Expose the Liberal Judicial Assault

As you might imagine, he dislikes the New Deal and feels that FDR nominated radical liberals to the Supreme Court. This last part nudged me into looking up who FDR did nominate. Here's the list:


Hugo L. Black 1937-71
Stanley F. Reed 1938-57
Felix Frankfurter 1939-62
William O. Douglas 1939-75
Frank Murphy 1940-49
Harlan Fiske Stone 1941-46
James F. Byrnes 1941-42
Robert H. Jackson 1941-54
Wiley B. Rutledge 1943-49

(From Encyclopedia Britannica)

Of these, we can hardly consider Reed, Frankfurter and Jackson to be liberals in the same sense that Douglas was.
