Below is an excerpt from an interview Sean O Murchu conducted with Supreme Court Justice William Brennan in June 1990, just one month prior to Justice Brennan retiring from the Supreme Court. Justice Brennan was appointed to the Supreme Court in 1956 by President Dwight Eisenhower and served 33 years as an influential member of the highest court in the nation. As we await the nomination of a new Supreme Court Justice to replace the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg who passed away on September 18, 2020 we look back on the contributions of Justice Brennan.
