Description
Letter from Clifford Case regarding withdrawal of Supreme Court nomination
Combined with CSA News Letter regarding Fortas. Nominated by Johnson to the Supreme Court in 1965, Abe Fortas was confirmed by the Senate, and maintained a close working relationship with the president. In 1968, Johnson tried to elevate Fortas to the position of Chief Justice, but that nomination faced a filibuster at least in part due to ethics problems that later caused Fortas to resign from the Court. Fortas returned to private practice, sometimes appearing before the justices with whom he had served.
