    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.
