Nixon Names Two To Supreme Court In Surprise Picks
President Nixon named Lewis F. Powell Jr. and William H. Rehnquist to the Supreme Court, a move that surprised many senators and drew swift praise from Republicans while some Democrats held back. Powell, 64, a Richmond lawyer, and Rehnquist, 47, an assistant attorney general, were described as conservatives akin to the president, signaling a shift in the court balance. News came after days of speculation that Herschel Friday and Mildred L. Lillie might be chosen, but the ABA screening was reportedly halted for future nominees. White House aides said Nixon had long considered Powell and Rehnquist, and Mitchell urged resuming the attorney general's candidate recommendations.
