Description: When President Eisenhower appointed Earl Warren Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, he thought he had nominated a "safe," moderate conservative who wouldn't make waves. Yet, in less than a year's time, beginning with the explosive school desegregation decision, the Warren Court unexpectedly embarked on a 15-year judicial odyssey that would shake the nation to its foundations and make Warren one of the most revered and reviled Americans in history.
