'''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.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.oyez.org/justices/james_f_byrnes|format=HTML|language=English|title=James F.
