Samuel Freeman Miller (April 5, 1816 – October 13, 1890) was an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States. An abolitionist, Miller was appointed by Abraham Lincoln to the Court.[1] He was opposed to what would become the incorporation doctrine, and is also famous for writing the majority opinions in the Slaughter-House cases - which held that the new 14th Amendment did not restrict state police powers.[2] He also voted against Lincoln's suppression of habeas corpus and in favor of the constitutionality of loyalty oaths for former Confederates.[2] Miller's limited view of the 14th Amendment led him to strike down state-sponsored racism, but not private racism (in the Civil Rights Cases).[2]
