<p>Kudos to you guys for having Earl Warren, the guy responsible for de-segregation, Miranda rights, civil rights, and the increased separation of church and state. He is by far my favorite Berkeley alumni.</p>
<p>Earl Warren was appointed by a republican conservative president Eisenhower. You think John Roberts might end up being like Warren and have a heart after all? Or would he turn out like Rhenquist or Scalia or Thomas.</p>
<p>I disagree regarding Earl Warren being the "best" chief justice--perhaps (and a strong emphasis on perhaps) in modern times, but overall? I would beg to differ. John Marshall is the best chief justice.</p>
<p>Earl warren is NOT the "best" It's really relative. I can argue that Rehnquist was the best because he was complete opposite of warren. Warren made really controversial decisions and i'm not to fond of "judicia; activism" at least to such degree. Many today don't agree with Miranda Rights and the technicality cases up on the supreme court that time. I'm thinking this is a result of liberal bias.
John Marshall set everything up for now whether u r liberal or conservative u'll probably agree with him.</p>
<p>Earl Warren stuck his nose up to The Man. He took on police officers (who are tyrannical street dictators), championed civil rights, ended segregation, established a constitutional right to privacy, ended mandatory prayers in public schools, etc. </p>
<p>Rehnquist is a modern-day Jefferson Davis.</p>
<p>SCOTUS members shouldnt have hearts</p>
<p>they should be Constitution computers that every once in a while use their brains</p>
