Justice Shithead
Решил почитать про омерзительную восьмерку верховных судей, макнувших в 1975 году Никсона головой в это самое
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_St
но пока застрял на Дугласе -- больно уж занимательная личность кек: введен в составполитбюро в возрасте 40 лет по номинации от ФД Рузвельта, рассматривался как кандидат в вице-президенты от демократов, довольно эксцентричный, раздражающий праваков (единственный верховный судья в новейшей истории США, которому дважды пытались устроить импичмент), самый долгослужащий член SCOTUS и "главный либертарианец" в рядах судейских
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Willi
"Judge Richard A. Posner, who was a law clerk at the Court during the latter part of Douglas's tenure, characterized him as "a bored, distracted, uncollegial, irresponsible" Supreme Court justice, as well as "rude, ice-cold, hot-tempered, ungrateful, foul-mouthed, self-absorbed" and so abusive in "treatment of his staff to the point where his law clerks — whom he described as 'the lowest form of human life' — took to calling him "shithead" behind his back." Posner asserts also that "Douglas's judicial oeuvre is slipshod and slapdash", but yet, Douglas's "intelligence, his energy, his academic and government experience, his flair for writing, the leadership skills that he had displayed at the SEC, and his ability to charm when he bothered to try" could have let him "become the greatest justice in history."
Judicial philosophy
In general, legal scholars have noted that Douglas's judicial style was unusual in that he did not attempt to elaborate justifications for his judicial positions on the basis of text, history, or precedent. Douglas was known for writing short, pithy opinions which relied on philosophical insights, observations about current politics, and literature, as much as more conventional "judicial" sources. Douglas wrote many of his opinions in twenty minutes, often publishing the first draft. Douglas was also known for his fearsome work ethic, publishing over thirty books and once telling an exhausted secretary (Fay Aull) "If you hadn't stopped working, you wouldn't be tired"."
Douglas frequently disagreed with the other justices, dissenting in almost 40% of cases, more than half of the time writing only for himself. Ronald Dworkin would conclude that because Douglas believed his convictions were merely "a matter of his own emotional biases", Douglas would fail to meet "minimal intellectual responsibilities". Ultimately, Douglas believed that a judge's role was "not neutral." "The Constitution is not neutral. It was designed to take the government off the backs of the people... "
On the bench, Douglas became known as a strong advocate of First Amendment rights. With fellow Justice Hugo Black, Douglas argued for a "literalist" interpretation of the First Amendment, insisting that the First Amendment's command that "no law" shall restrict freedom of speech should be interpreted literally.

Дело запрещенного в служении католического священника, толкнувшего зажигательную речь, исполненную антисемитских инвектив, перед собранием "ветеранов-христиан", а на улице против всего этого дерьма протестовали активисты, численно превышающие христианское сборище, и полиция не смогла поддержать порядок на должном уровне, в результате чего священника оштрафовали на сотню баков, но иерей недостойный дотошно прошёл все судебные инстанции вплоть до верховной и таки добился отмены приговора: признали нарушением 1й поправки 5ю голосами против 4х, и Дуглас был в большинстве. "He wrote the opinion in Terminiello v. City of Chicago (1949), overturning the conviction of a Catholic priest who allegedly caused a "breach of the peace" by making anti-Semitic comments during a raucous public speech." И не только за фашню вступался, но и за комуняк: "Douglas, joined by Black, furthered his advocacy of a broad reading of First Amendment rights by dissenting from the Supreme Court's decision in Dennis v. United States (1952), affirming the conviction of the leader of the U.S. Communist Party."
