But I’ve always been more of a Harrison sort of chick.

Unless this is a piece solely about his short and mostly uneventful presidency, there’s PLENTY to say about any chief justice, or Secretary of War, which he alao was. In fact Taft never wanted to be president at all, and always had his eye on the bench, and before he died he said of his Supreme Court seat that it was the highest achievement of his life, and that he doesn’t remember ever being President.

Of course, one of his most important decision was the one overturned in Brown Vs Board of Ed. Again though, it makes for interesting reading. I’m buying that sucker when it comes out.
