Have any presidents nominated justices of another political party to the U.S. Supreme Court?
ОглавлениеYes, but it is the exception rather than the rule. Seven Republican presidents nominated Democratic justices: Abraham Lincoln nominated Stephen Field; Benjamin Harrison nominated Howell E. Jackson; Warren G. Harding nominated Pierce Butler; Herbert Hoover nominated Benjamin Cardozo; William Howard Taft nominated Associate Justice Edward White to chief justice and also nominated Horace Lurton and Joseph R. Lamar; Dwight D. Eisenhower nominated William J. Brennan; and Richard Nixon nominated Lewis Powell. Two Democratic presidents nominated Republican justices: Franklin D. Roosevelt nominated Harlan Fiske Stone; and Harry S. Truman nominated Harold H. Burton.
