Chief Justice Melville Fuller of the United States Supreme Court has announced plans to retire on March 5, 1905, a decision that has sent shockwaves through the nation’s capital. Sources close to the Chief Justice reveal that President Roosevelt is reportedly considering appointing Secretary of War William Howard Taft as Fuller’s successor. If true, this would be a masterstroke by the President, who has long been grooming Taft for a seat on the nation’s highest court.
