The longest reign on the Court was a man whom I regard to be the Court's worst writer -- a total hypocrite every time he set out to write an opinion in terms of what can only be called new law -- William O. Douglas. Born in 1898, he was appointed to the Court in 1939 when he was 40 years old, then went on to serve for 36 and a half years, retiring in 1975 when he was 77 years old. There were two attempts by members of Congress to have him impeached. More than once some Justices have been "asked" to resign because they were so old and it was said that their "performance" was declining (a euphamistic way of saying that they had become senile).
