'''Arthur Joseph Goldberg''' (August 8, 1908 – January 19, 1990) was a U.S. [[Supreme Court]] justice nominated by [[John F. Kennedy]] to the position and confirmed by the Senate in 1962. A liberal Democrat, he later resigned in 1965 during the presidency to [[Lyndon B. Johnson]] to be appointed as ambassador to the [[United Nations]]. This was done at Johnson's urging so that he could appoint [[Abe Fortas]] to the position, who in turn was forced to resign in four years.
