V ( TI DEDICATION OF PORTRAIT EDWARD DOUGLASS WHITE: FRAME FOR A PORTRAIT* Oration at the unveiling of the Rosenthal portrait of E. D. White, before the Louisiana Supreme Court, October 29, 1982. Paul R. Baier** Royal Street fluttered with flags, we are told, when they unveiled the statue of Edward Douglass White, in the heart of old New Orleans, in 1926. Confederate Veterans, still wearing the gray of '61, stood about the scaffolding. Above them rose Mr. Baker's great bronze statue of E. D. White, heroic in size, draped in the national flag. Somewhere in the crowd a band played old Southern airs, soft and sweet in the April sunshine. It was an impressive occasion, reported The Times-Picayune1 notable because so many venerable men and women had gathered to pay tribute to a man whose career brings honor to Louisiana and to the nation. Fifty years separate us from that occasion, sixty from White's death. -

Remarks of the Chief Justice: My Life in the Law Series
REHNQUIST IN FINAL READ.DOC 07/31/03 2:14 PM Lecture REMARKS OF THE CHIEF JUSTICE: MY LIFE IN THE LAW SERIES WILLIAM H. REHNQUIST† INTRODUCTION This afternoon I shall speak about my predecessors as Chief Jus- tice, except for Chief Justice Warren Burger, with whom I served. I am the sixteenth Chief Justice, and certainly one noteworthy fact is that in the 213 years of our country’s existence, while there have been forty-three Presidents, there have been only sixteen Chief Justices. I am going to go in chronological order, starting with John Jay, who was the first Chief Justice, and ending with the fourteenth Chief Jus- tice, Earl Warren. But I shall pass quickly over the first three who held this office, because they really had little or no influence on the institution, and they sat at a time when the Supreme Court was far different from what it is today. During the first ten years of its exis- tence, the Court decided only a total of sixty cases—that is not sixty cases per year, but six cases per year. There was so little business that the Justices sat in Washington for only a few weeks during February and early March, spending the rest of their time riding circuit as trial judges. It was only with the arrival of John Marshall, the fourth Chief Justice, that the Court acquired its co-equal status—along with Con- gress and the President—in our tripartite system of federal govern- ment.

The Supreme Court and Superman
THE SUPREME COURT AND SUPERMAN THE JUSTICES AND THE FAMOUS PEOPLE IN THEIR FAMILY TREES Stephen R. McAllister† HILE EXAMINING a photograph of the 1911 U.S. Supreme Court, I spotted Joseph Rucker Lamar, but was initially confused because I thought Justice Lamar served on the Court in the nineteenth century. I quickly discovered that Joseph was the cousin (distant, it turns out) of an earlier Justice, Lu- W 1 cius Quintus Cincinnatus Lamar II. I was aware of two other family rela- tionships between Justices who served on the Court: John Marshall Harlan and his grandson, John Marshall Harlan II, and Stephen Johnson Field and his nephew, David Josiah Brewer,2 with the service of only Field and Brewer overlapping.3 † Stephen McAllister is United States Attorney for the District of Kansas, and on leave of absence from the University of Kansas where he is the E.S. & Tom W. Hampton Distinguished Professor of Law. 1 His namesake presumably is Lucius Quinctius Cincinnatus, the Roman farmer-statesman who legend holds was appointed dictator and left his farm in 458 B.C. to defend Rome against an attacking army, quickly defeated the enemy, and then immediately gave up his power and returned to his farm. 2 The Kansas Justice, David Josiah Brewer, 19 Green Bag 2d 37 (2015). 3 A particularly observant reader of the chart that accompanies this article, or a knowl- edgeable student of Supreme Court history, might wonder whether some other Justices 21 GREEN BAG 2D 219 Stephen R.

OFFICERS OF THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH OF THE GOVERNMENT [ 1 ] EXPLANATORY NOTE A Cabinet officer is not appointed for a fixed term and does not necessarily go out of office with the President who made the appointment. While it is customary to tender one’s resignation at the time a change of administration takes place, officers remain formally at the head of their department until a successor is appointed. Subordinates acting temporarily as heads of departments are not con- sidered Cabinet officers, and in the earlier period of the Nation’s history not all Cabinet officers were heads of executive departments. The names of all those exercising the duties and bearing the respon- sibilities of the executive departments, together with the period of service, are incorporated in the lists that follow. The dates immediately following the names of executive officers are those upon which commis- sions were issued, unless otherwise specifically noted. Where periods of time are indicated by dates as, for instance, March 4, 1793, to March 3, 1797, both such dates are included as portions of the time period. On occasions when there was a vacancy in the Vice Presidency, the President pro tem- pore is listed as the presiding officer of the Senate. The Twentieth Amendment to the Constitution (effective Oct. 15, 1933) changed the terms of the President and Vice President to end at noon on the 20th day of January and the terms of Senators and Representatives to end at noon on the 3d day of January when the terms of their successors shall begin.

Noonan: The Religion of the Justice: Does It Affect Constitutional Decisi REMARKS THE RELIGION OF THE JUSTICE: DOES IT AFFECT CONSTITUTIONAL DECISION MAKING? John T. Noonan, Jr.* "[N]o religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States."1 Here, in the body of the Constitution, antedating the First Amendment, is the first commitment of our country to religious freedom in the sense of the eligibility of every citizen, whatever his or her religion, to be appointed to federal office. At a time when religious tests were still employed by states such as Massachusetts and New Hampshire to limit state office to Protestants, this provision was a bold and sweeping challenge to religious bigotry. In its light, should we ever be concerned about the religion of a judge? Human nature being what it is, there cannot help being some inquiry as to the impact of religion on a judge's decisions. -
The Celebration Bicentennial Louisiana Supreme Court
The Celebration of the Bicentennial of the Louisiana Supreme Court Ceremonies The Louisiana Supreme Court celebrated its 200th anniversary on March 1, 2013. As a special session of court, the Louisiana Supreme Court justices presided over the Bicentennial ceremony, which commemorated the Court’s two centuries of legal heritage. The ceremony took place at the Louisiana Supreme Court’s courtroom at 400 Royal Street in New Orleans. The event was free and open to the public, with the option of one hour of CLE accreditation for Louisiana attorneys. Justice Greg G. Guidry chaired the Court’s Bicentennial Committee, which was in charge of planning the ceremony. Louisiana Lieutenant Governor Jay Dardenne was the master of ceremonies. After Lieutenant Governor Dardenne’s opening address, the Washington Artillery presented the colors, which was followed by the Pledge of Allegiance, led by Donna D. Fraiche, President of the Supreme Court of Louisiana Historical Society. Bishop Shelton J. Fabre gave the invocation, and Chief Justice Bernette J. Johnson delivered welcoming remarks to the attendees. Four speakers discussed various aspects of the Court’s history, including A Walk Through the Streets of New Orleans at the Time of the Court’s Foundation, by Tulane Professor Richard Campanella; The Civilian Aspects of Louisiana Law, by LSU Law Professor John Randall Trahan; The Role of the Louisiana Supreme Court in the Early Civil Rights Movement, by UNO Emeritus Professor Raphael Cassimere, Jr.; and The History of the Louisiana Supreme Court, by UNO Emeritus Distinguished Professor of History and Bicentennial Court Historian Warren M. Billings. Students from the International High School of New Orleans took the stage following the speakers to present a short, trilingual play entitled An Uncommon Birth: Shaping Louisiana’s Legal Tradition for Statehood. -

THE WAITE COURT AT THE BAR OF HISTORY DONALD GRIER STEPHENSON, JR.t INTRODUCTION "I have at last finished the opinion," Chief Justice Waite wrote to Bancroft Davis, the Court's Reporter of Decisions, on March 5, 1888. One suspects that Waite audibly exhaled as he penned that sentence.2 His reference was to the Telephone Cases,3 arguably the most significant patent litigation in the late nineteenth century, at least in terms of its ef- fects on the development of the telecommunications industry in the United States. Waite had been at work on his opinion for months, and understandably so. 4 Arguments in the cases had been heard over twelve days in January and February 1887. 5 The bench had split four to three over these eight challenges in circuit courts to Alexander Graham Bell's 1876 patent for the telephone. 6 A description of each of the patent dis- putes, Waite's opinion sustaining the patent, and Justice Bradley's much shorter dissent, all consumed more than five hundred pages-the entirety of volume 126 of the United States Reports.7 Waite's effort had been a burden, even for a Chief Justice accustomed to overwork. -

Court in 1894 just as the drama was beginning and whose ascen- dancy to Chief Justice presaged its successful culmination in the Court’s twin 1911 decisions in Standard Oil and American Tobacco, dissolving two of the country’s largest and most infa- mous trusts. Like John Sherman, Edward Douglass White was a most unlike- ly trustbuster. “Ned,” as he was known to family and friends, was born into a prominent family in antebellum Louisiana.4 His grand- father, James White, had moved from Pennsylvania to Louisiana shortly after the Revolutionary War, well before Louisiana became part of the United States in 1807. Devout Catholics, the Whites were quickly accepted into the circle of wealthy Creoles who dom- inated the territory both financially and politically. His father, the first Edward D. White, served one term as governor of Louisiana and five terms in the U.S. House of Representatives, before retir- TRUST BUSTERS ing in 1843 to assume active management of his sugar plantation in one of the most picturesque areas of Louisiana. “Ned” White was born in 1845, just two years before his Chief Justice father’s death, the youngest of five children. He was raised until the age of six on the plantation, when he left to begin his school- Edward Douglass White ing in New Orleans.
