James Byrnes was a politician from South Carolina. During his career he served at every branch of the federal government - the executive branch (as Secretary of State), the legislative branch (in both houses of Congress) and the judicial branch as a Supreme Court Associate Justice.
Brynes was a confidant of Franklin Roosevelt; he resigned from the Court which Roosevelt appointed him to in order to run for governor on a states-rights campaign.[1]
