'''Harlan Fiske Stone''' (1872–1946) was the [[Chief Justice]] of the [[United States]] from 1941 to 1946, when he died on the bench, and an Associate Justice of the [[U.S. Supreme Court]] from 1925 to 1941.

He had been a classmate at [[Amherst College]] of future President [[Calvin Coolidge]], and was Coolidge's only appointment to the [[U.S. Supreme Court]]. Rather than serving as a [[conservative]] jurist one might expect from President Coolidge, Justice Stone became a loyal supporter of President [[Franklin Delano Roosevelt]]'s [[New Deal]]. He was rewarded when President Roosevelt elevated him to be [[Chief Justice]] when that vacancy occurred.

Justice Stone's most influential opinion for the Court was ''[[United States v. Carolene Products Co.]]'', 304 U.S. 144 (1938), in which he penned a "footnote 4" that became increasingly popular to justify judicial activism with respect to social issues.
