How did President Eisenhower truly felt about his appointment of California Governor Earl Warren to be the Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court?|||According to historian Stephen Ambrose, Eisenhower later regretted his appointment of Warren to the court.





I have one one source for this online: http://www.pbs.org/newshour/character/es鈥?/a>





Years ago I read an article by Ambrose where he spoke of interviewing Eisenhower. During the interview, Eisenhower said that Warren was one of the worst appointments he made; Amrbose told the ex-president, "Really? I thought he was one of your best." But I cannot find a copy of this online and it must have been over twenty years ago I read it.





Now, I know Ambrose's scholarship has been challenged recently, but I trust him on this one as he did know Ike. Furthermore, he not only wrote a biography of him, he was editor of the Eisenhower Papers.





So, Eisenhower did regret appointing Warren. But he also believed as president he must support the Supreme Court. According to Ambrose, Eisenhower told a friend, "I hold to the basic purpose. There must be respect for the Constitution-- which means the Supreme Court's interpretation of the Constitution-- or we shall have chaos. We cannot possibly imagine a successful form of government in which every individual citizen would have the right to interpret the Constitution according to his own convictions, beliefs, and prejudices. Chaos would develop. This I believe with all my heart-- and shall always act accordingly."





Consequently, even though he himself had reservations about the court's decision in "Brown v Topeka," Eisenhower sent the 101th Airborne to Little Rock and nationalized the Arkansas National Guard when Governor Faubus attempted to block the integration of Central High.|||Eisenhower thought his appointment of Earl Warren as Chief Justice was the biggest mistake he made as Presient.
