Hi. For nearly identical reasons as those outlined in this post of mine, Mr. Waite's term start date should be March 4, 1874, not January 21, 1874. I've corrected and clarified this matter in this edit. I also corrected the patently wrong information about the date being January 22. -- MZMcBride ( talk) 01:12, 22 May 2012 (UTC)
Nominated by Ulysses Grant on January 19, 1874, to a seat vacated by Salmon P. Chase. Confirmed by the Senate on January 21, 1874, and received commission on January 21, 1874. Service terminated on March 23, 1888, due to death.
The date a Member of the Court took his/her Judicial oath (the Judiciary Act provided “That the Justices of the Supreme Court, and the district judges, before they proceed to execute the duties of their respective offices, shall take the following oath . . . ”) is here used as the date of the beginning of his/her service, for until that oath is taken he/she is not vested with the prerogatives of the office.
Related to the thread directly above (" Term as Chief Justice"), I just sent the following note to Oyez.org:
Hi.
http://www.oyez.org/justices/morrison_r_waite contains two inaccuracies.
The page currently reads:
---
Commissioned on
Tuesday, January 20, 1874
---
This is wrong. Mr. Waite was commissioned on January 21, 1874. The Federal Judicial Center and multiple reliable sources say so (cf. < http://www.fjc.gov/servlet/nGetInfo?jid=2474&cid=999&ctype=na&instate=na> and rudimentary Google searches).
Additionally, the page currently reads:
---
Sworn In
Tuesday, March 3, 1874
---
This is also wrong. According to < http://www.supremecourt.gov/about/oath/oathsofthechiefjustices2009.aspx> and other sources (e.g., < http://books.google.com/books?id=npdRAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA832&lpg=PA832#v=onepage&q&f=false>), Mr. Waite took his oaths on March 4, not March 3.
Thank you!
Hopefully Oyez.org will fix its entry in short order. -- MZMcBride ( talk) 17:45, 22 May 2012 (UTC)
Hmm, and another one:
Hi.
Sorry to bother again, but I found another inaccuracy in this page: < http://www.oyez.org/justices/morrison_r_waite>.
The page currently reads:
---
Left Office
Thursday, March 22, 1888
---
However, according to < http://www.supremecourt.gov/about/members_text.aspx> and many, many other citations, Mr. Waite served until his death (March 23).
Thank you!
Perhaps Oyez.org shouldn't be relied upon? -- MZMcBride ( talk) 17:48, 22 May 2012 (UTC)
Oyez is connected with Chicago Kent law school, and has direct connections with SCOTUS. Not to say that they are nihil obstat, but they are close to being ex cathedra. So I wouldn't get too shaken by a typo. That's my opinion. They have some really good materials that aren't generally available elsewhere. 7&6=thirteen ( ☎) 17:54, 22 May 2012 (UTC)
