Franklin Pierce, the fourteenth President of the United States (1853-1857), was never a Supreme Court justice. He was a Democratic Senator from New Hampshire prior to serving as President, and a longtime member of the New Hampshire Legislature before that.

You may be thinking of Supreme Court Justice Pierce Butler, who was appointed to the US Supreme Court by Woodrow Wilson in 1922 and served until his death in 1939. He was infamous as one of the conservative "four horsemen" of the Supreme Court who overturned President Roosevelt's New Deal legislation as unconstitutional.
