A New Team on the Supreme Bench

Information Earl Warren: Appointed in 1953, became Chief Justice Griswold v Connecticut (1965): prohibited the use of contraceptives Gideon v Wainwright (1963): all defendants in serious criminal cases were entitled to legal counsel Escobo (1964) and Miranda (1966): ensured right of the accused to remain silent New York Times v Sullivan (1964): public figures could sue for libel with proof only Engel v Vitale (1962): prohibited required prayers and Bible readings in schools Reynolds v Sims (1964): state legislatures needed to be reapportioned according to new human population Led to protests with the motto; “Impeach Earl Warren”

Information Relentless criticism of the Supreme Court: 1954, on. Led Nixon to change the philosophical composition of the Court. 1969: Warren Burger appointed to succeed Earl Warren as Chief Justice Nixon learned afterwards that after being appointed, justices think freely without impact by the opinion of the President - Roe v Wade (1973): legalized abortion

O: This photograph was taken in America byan anonymous photographer. C: This source is based on the time period between 1963 and 1973 when rules on contraception and abortions were brought up in the Supreme Court. P: The purpose of this photo is to depict the protesting of the public during this time. V: The value of this source is within the straightforwardness of the message. L:There are limitations in this depiction due to the failure to recognize the supporting side. Source 1

Source 2 http://cdn.loc.gov/service/ll/usrep/usrep410/usrep410113/usrep410113.pdf O: This source is the report of the Supreme Court decision of Roe v Wade in 1973. C: This report touches on the topic of abortion and the decision made to legalize abortions. P: The purpose of this report is to provide an in-depth conclusion and representation of the Supreme Court ruling. V: This source is valuable due to its extensive amount of information. L: This is limited due to its lack of visual representations.

Source 3 O: This political cartoon is made by an American artist around the 1970’s. C: This source shows a family at dinner with angry dialogue from the father. P: The purpose of this cartoon is to emphasize the irony of the reality of the case. V: This source is valuable in its visual satire. L: This is limited due to the lack of additional, necessary information.

Comparison and Contrast SOURCE 1 and 2 Both Source 1 and 2 suggest that with each Supreme Court decision, protests are bound to follow and a portion of the public will be adamantly against the decision. In the same way that Source 1 depicts the opinion of one side of the argument, Source 2 points out several sides and supports these opinions with long explanations of the “pros and cons” Source 1 suggests, however, that the decision was much more straightforward while Source 2 and its high amount of detail shows a very disputed and heavily considered decision. Source 2 goes further than Source 1 in arguing the support and choices in decision making that led to the formation of the decision.

Questions Break down potential reasons for the public protest of Earl Warren as the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court Evaluate the misinterpretations of President Nixon regarding the function of the Supreme Court
