Felix Frankfurter (1882-1965) was born in Vienna, Austria, excelled at Harvard Law School where he later became a professor of law, and was appointed by President Franklin D. Roosevelt to the U.S. Supreme Court in 1938.
Though Professor Frankfurter had been a defender of Sacco and Vanzetti, two anarchists eventually executed for committing a murder during a robbery, he was a relatively conservative and highly patriotic Justice. He opposed a constitutional right for a schoolchild to recite the Pledge of Allegiance and he opposed applying the exclusionary rule to state court proceedings. Accordingly, liberals today treat Justice Frankfurter's record on the Court with some disdain.
