The era of the free-masons.
Between 1937 and 1958, an amazing succession of publicly Masonic Supreme Court justices were appointed to the Supreme Court. Collectively, they radicalized American politics. Since their ascension, it can truly be said that every major socio-political change in America has been brought about by judicial, rather than legislative, means. They utterly dominated the Supreme Court during the Warren, Stone, and Vinson courts (1941-1969.) At times, as many as eight of the nine justice were Masonic.
The following is a listing of Masonic US Supreme Court justices appointed in the last 70 years. This is no conspiracy theory; all were very publicly Masonic. Allegations of covert Masonry (such as Ronald Reagan and Dwight Eisenhower) have been rejected for the purposes of this list.
Hugo Black (1937-1971)
S. F. Reed (1938-1957)
William Douglas (1939-1975)
Robert Jackson (1941-1954)
James Byrnes (1941-1942)
Wiley Rutledge (1943-1949)
Harold Burton (1945-1958)
Fred Vinson (1946-1953)
Tom C. Clark (1949-1967)
Sherman Minton (1949-1956)
Earl Warren (1953-1969)
John Marshall Harlan (1955-1971)
Potter Stewart (1958-1981)
Also, Thurgood Marshall (1968-1991) was a freemason.
Today, there are five (okay, four and a quarter) conservatives on the United States Supreme Court. Is it a coincidence that they are also the five members who cannot be freemasons?
Freemasons generally disdain Catholics, and Catholics may even incur excommunication by becoming Freemasons; all five are Catholic: Clarence Thomas, John Roberts, Antonin Scalia, Anthony Kennedy, and Sam Alito. (Ruth Bader Ginsburg is not likely a freemason, nor is there credible evidence linking the other liberals to masonry.)
Unlike Roosevelt, Truman, and Johnson, John Kennedy was also not masonic. His appointments, Abe Fortas (1962-1965), and Byron White (1962-1993) were the only non-radical-leftists for several years on the court. Nixon, a Quaker, was also non-Masonic; Burger, while still liberal, was decidedly more moderate than his colleagues. Rehnquist was decidedly conservative. Unfortunately, the Senate blocked further conservatives, resulting in the selection of Lewis Powell, Jr.
Gerald Ford was a Freemason, and his selection, John Paul Stevens, while not publicly Masonic, continued the radical policies of prior freemasons. Was Stevens simply covertly Masonic? Sources alleging he was are not reliable, but his ties are definite.

(Clarence Thomas was not Catholic when he was appointed, but was Catholic previously and is currently Catholic.) All four solidly conservative justices have been linked to an anti-Masonic, Catholic group.
While you are probably correct, you are going to get flamed by the Children of the Inquisition who are running amok here.
Yeah, the kidnapped Catholic babies we were saving for our blood rituals were spoiling too fast!
/s
LOL to your sheer hyperbole!!
Don't forget Simon Bolivar and Benito Juarez. They were Masons, too, and dared to lead the cause of liberty in their respective countries.
Pope John 23rd was hard on them. We had the neighbor lady come over to apologize for what she had said and done to us. We could tell every word was bitter bile to her.
Jeez! You can't even stand for anything! Are you BJ Clinton in disguise?
Yeah, how very condescending.
Hey, I just was inspired by them! :-)
No, but you are quite obviously paranoid, and you are not winning any I Q tests with your less than enlightened, (and rude postings) either. Have a nice day.
And, lest we forget *an even dozen* Astro-nauts walked on the Moon - masons all...
Conspiracy? I think not... (key wierd music)
You were offered nothing, no Mason will ever approach someone to ask them to join the lodge.
Standard "splinter-beam" distraction tactic.
I truly believe it is a waste of time to argue with these Catholics. I know not what their problem is with the Masons, no one is forcing them to join our lodges. I wish one of them would take time to explain to me the time of the anti-popes and how that relates to the line of papal succession.
Yeah, that's what I thought when I saw yet another Catholic hit piece of the Masonic Lodge.
As a Mason I find the conspiracy theories laughable. If there were a conspiracy wouldn't we all be rich?
Oh, golly gee, I am so devestated.
Is that kind of like a Masonic "ladies' auxiliary"?
There's that term again...Eastern Star. It's a name that recalls that of Esther, a Persian name that means "Star," and may or may not refer to the Evening Star, meaning Venus. Now, there's some controversy over the etiology, but I find it fascinating that the Masonic womens' organization should bear a label that refers to Venus, a.k.a. Aphrodite.
Maybe some of those Masons' wives deserve a second look...
