That's each Truman and Eisenhower nomination to the Supreme Court of the United States.

I would have voted in favor of Harlan and Stewart, and against all the others. In particular, I would have filibustered Vinson and Warren.

He was an awful judge, but I find it difficult to vote against someone who dissented from the Court's ruling in Griswold.

None of them, although I might have considered Harlan briefly

I'd have voted for Harlan. That's it.
