FIRSTS AND BEGINNINGS Who were the first six justices on the U.S. Supreme Court?
ОглавлениеThe first six justices nominated to the U.S. Supreme Court were John Jay (as chief justice), John Rutledge, William Cushing, James Wilson, John Blair, and Robert H. Harrison. The Senate confirmed all the nominees, but Harrison, a judge from Maryland, declined the nomination because of poor health. In his place, President George Washington nominated James Iredell of North Carolina.
