Potter Stewart (1915–1985) was appointed at a relatively young age to become an Associate Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court by President Dwight Eisenhower in 1958, and later retired from the Court at a relatively young age in 1981.

Justice Stewart was conservative on some issues, disagreeing with the Warren Court in these landmark cases:


Justice Stewart is best known for defining pornography as "I know it when I see it," but then he held in favor of the pornographers in that case. He also ruled against the death penalty and sought to rule against the constitutionality of the Vietnam War.
