James Clark McReynolds

1862–1946 · Supreme Court seat #66 · 1914–1941 · TN

James Clark McReynolds was another of the conservative "Four Horsemen" who opposed New Deal legislation, and is remembered as well for open, documented bigotry toward his Jewish and Black colleagues — refusing, for instance, to sit for the Court’s official photograph the year Justice Cardozo joined.
