Sue -

I was of the impression that Eisenhower appointed Warren to the Supreme 
Court to ensure that the court remained strongly conservative.  Realizing 
that Warren, during WW2, was in favor of Japanese internment camps, 
Eisenhower felt that Warren was the perfect conservative choice.

I also felt that, perhaps, Brown vs. Board of Education was an opportunity 
for Warren to "make amends" for his alleged anti Japanese-American 
sentiment during the war as a result of his support for the internment 
camps.

Could this have simply been confusion on my part?
