Warren Burger is described as a conservative in various references.
Yeah, right.
He was so conservative, he hated the Second Amendment and wanted it restricted to muskets. He was so conservative, he voted for forced busing for children to schools other than their natural neighborhood schools. He was so conservative, he voted for abortion. He was so conservative, he waited to retire at the right moment so Johnson could have his pick. for SCOTUS.
Warren Burger is the Barack Obama of the judicial world.
I can’t disagree with the content of what you posted, but surely you have the President who replaced Burger wrong. He was appointed by Nixon, so it’s not possible that Johnson named his replacement upon retirement. Burger was on the Supreme Court until 1986, meaning that Reagan nominated his replacement. I’m not sure what your last line in your post is referring to.
