In the United States, the Supreme Court of the United States is the highest Federal court in the country, with powers of judicial review first asserted in Calder v. Bull (1798) in Justice Iredell's dissenting opinion. The power was later given binding authority by Justice Marshall in Marbury v. Madison (1803). The past century produced some of the most memorable jurists, some of whom are buried in Arlington National Cemetery in Washington, D.C.:

Warren Earl Burger (1907–1995) was Chief Justice of the United States from 1969 to 1986. Although Burger was a conservative and considered a strict constructionist, under his tenure, the United States Supreme Court delivered a variety of transformative decisions on abortion, capital punishment, religious establishment, and school desegregation.

William Orville Douglas (1898–1980) was a United States Supreme Court Associate Justice. With a term lasting 36 years and 209 days, he is the longest-serving justice in the history of the Supreme Court. Justice Douglas had a tremendous amount of respect for the natural environment and the dire need for its protection.

Harold Andrew ("Harry") Blackmun (1908–1999) was an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States from 1970 until 1994. He is best known as the author of Roe v. Wade.

Potter Stewart (1915–1985) was an Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court. On the Court, he made major contributions to criminal justice reform, civil rights, access to the courts, and fourth amendment jurisprudence, among other areas.

Thurgood Marshall (1908–1993) was an American jurist and the first African American to serve on the Supreme Court of the United States. Before becoming a judge, he was a lawyer who was best remembered for his high success rate in arguing before the Supreme Court and for the victory in Brown v. Board of Education. He was nominated to the court by President Lyndon Johnson in 1967.

William Joseph Brennan, Jr. (1906–1997) was an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States. Known for his outspoken progressive views, including opposition to the death penalty and support for abortion rights, he was considered to be among the Court's most influential members.
