Carter to face Nixon-influenced Supreme Court at start
Carter begins his presidency with a conservative-leaning Court shaped largely by Nixon appointees. With no current vacancies, he can only influence via the solicitor general, lower federal judgeships, and proposed court reforms. The Burger Court shows more deference to legislation and state power than the Warren Court, signaling gradual shifts in criminal law and civil rights.
