Harlan II is often considered part of which ideological wing on the Warren Court?

  • Liberal

  • Centrist

  • Progressive

  • Conservative

Answer

The Conservative wing of the Warren Court, also known as the "Southern bloc," was a group of justices who often dissented from the majority's liberal decisions. Led by Justices Felix Frankfurter and John Marshall Harlan II, they favored a more restrained approach to constitutional interpretation and were skeptical of expanding federal power. This wing played a significant role in shaping the balance of the Court during the Warren era.
