Today is the birthday of Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. (1841-1935). Associate Justice of the Supreme Court from 1902-1932, he was the oldest Justice in the history of the Court (retiring at the age of 90), and known for his very concise and often-controversial opinions.
Some of his most famous opinions include:
Lochner v. New York, 198 U.S. 45 (1905), (dissenting)
Schenck v. United States, 249 U.S. 47 (1919)
Abrams v. United States, 250 U.S. 616 (1919), (dissenting)
Buck v. Bell, 274 U.S. 200 (1927)
