In 1973, the Supreme Court of the United States included justices from various political backgrounds, primarily appointed by presidents from both the Democratic and Republican parties. The Court, which issued the landmark decision in Roe v. Wade that year, consisted of justices such as Chief Justice Warren Burger (appointed by Nixon, a Republican), and Justices William Brennan and Thurgood Marshall (both appointed by Democratic presidents).
