Addition Of Constructionists To Supreme Court Blunts Its Activist Drive
Washington AP reports that Nixon's push for strict constructionists on the Supreme Court has largely achieved its aim by the 1972 73 term end. Four Nixon appointees Burger Blackmun Powell Rehnquist formed a decisive bloc on many questions, reshaping abortion first amendment and criminal law rulings while stalling some Warren era liberal agendas. A separate Morganton NC report notes a van accident at Lake James resulting in two drownings, James Walter Fleming and Cynthia Birchfield.
