| Yes, but Taft became what many considered the top prize, Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court. Out lasting two more presidents. Not bad for a hayseed from Ohio, as they used to say. And I rather have these guys any day as opposed to racists like Wilson or Johnson. Who by many accounts were effective leaders, but pushed race relations and civil rights back years. Wilson is responsible for the FED, the income tax, the breakdown of race in the 1910's and the expansion of government. Also, not such a huge fan of Roosevelt, by many arguments, became a dictator towards the end and the alphabet soup was in some ways a huge waste, he also tried to dismiss and limit the number and enumerated powers of the Supreme Court Justices who did not adhere to his "orders". So Virgina can keep Wilson and New York can keep Roosevelt lol. |
