Warren Burger
was nominated Chief Justice by Richard Nixon. His
Court issued a unanimous ruling,
Swann v. Charlotte-Mecklenburg
Board of Education
(1971) supporting
busing
to reduce
de facto
racial segregation
in schools. In
United States v. U.S. District Court
(1972) the Burger Court issued another unanimous ruling against the
Nixon
Administration's desire to invalidate the need for a search warrant and the requirements of the
Fourth Amendment
in cases of domestic surveillance. Then, only two weeks later in
Furman v. Georgia
(1972) the court, in a 5–4 decision, invalidated all death penalty laws
then in force, although Burger dissented from the decision. In the most controversial ruling of his term,
Roe V. Wade
(1973), Burger voted with the majority to recognize a broad right to
privacy
that prohibited states from banning
abortions
.
On July 24, 1974, Burger led the court in a unanimous decision in
United States v. Nixon
. This was President Nixon's attempt to keep several memos and tapes relating to the
Watergate Affair
private. Burger is also distinguished by having served longer than any other Chief Justice in the 20th century, was a critic of the gun lobby, and in 1988 he was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
