Grand Old Man of Judiciary Famed Dissenting Justice Harlan
The late John Marshall Harlan, associate justice of the U.S. Supreme Court, was a senior figure in age and service who dissented in key cases like Standard Oil and American Tobacco. Born June 1, 1883, in Boyle County, Kentucky, he led troops in the Civil War, served as Kentucky attorney general, and was appointed to the high court in 1877. Known for independence, he favored income tax, advocated a strong navy, and sought the chief justiceship, while remaining the enduring “grand old man of the judiciary” noted for golf and tobacco and long walks.
