President Eisenhower nominated Earl Warren to replace Chief Justice Fred Vinson, who died in office in 1953. Eisenhower believed Warren was a moderate conservative, and was dismayed to discover how liberal the new Chief Justice really was.
Looking back on his Presidency, Eisenhower once said, "I made two mistakes, and both of them are sitting on the Supreme Court." The former President was referring to Earl Warren and William Brennan, Jr., both outspoken supporters of civil rights.
Earl Warren presided over the US Supreme Court from 1953 until his retirement in 1969.
