Democrats invariably appoint SC justices according to his or her politics. Republican Presidents try, and often fail, to nominate judges according to their actual adherence to the Constitution. This leaves conservatives at a great disadvantage. I love Scalia and Thomas but we're unlikely to see their kind again. Onward and downward.
Thank you, Mr. Whelan. The reason I ask is that I just started reading a biography of Wilson by Christopher Cox and Holmes is not mentioned in the index, even though he was certainly on the bench during the Wilson administration.
By the way, I really enjoy your posts. Your analysis is terrific and most enlightening.

Sounds like Henry II and Thomas Becket. Thomas tried to warn Henry. Apparently Holmes didn't make it clear to Roosevelt.
What was Holmes’ role in furthering Woodrow Wilson’s agenda?
Good question, but probably not one I can answer well. I'd guess that Holmes gave Wilson broad leeway.
