Description
Arthur Goldberg first gained national recognition when he represented the Chicago Newspaper Guild in a 1938 strike. In 1962, President Kennedy nominated Goldberg to the Supreme Court. He played a significant role by replacing the right-leaning justice Frankfurter, Goldberg’s liberal views shifted the Court’s balance toward a broader construction of constitutional rights. His best-known opinion was on the case of Griswold v. Connecticut (1965), arguing that the Ninth Amendment supported the existence of an unenumerated right to privacy. He retired from the bench when, in 1965, President Johnson appointed him U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations.
