Burger was a conservative Republican, and his appointment was seen as a victory for the conservative movement. However, Burger was not a reliable conservative vote. He was often willing to compromise with the court's liberal justices, and he sometimes even voted with them. As a result, Burger's legacy is more complex than that of some other conservative justices.
One of Burger's most important decisions was Roe v. Wade, which legalized abortion in the United States. Burger wrote the majority opinion in the case, and he argued that the right to privacy includes the right to have an abortion.
Burger's decision in Roe v. Wade was a controversial one, and it remains controversial today. However, it is also one of the most important decisions in the history of the Supreme Court.
In addition to Roe v. Wade, Burger also wrote the majority opinion in a number of other important cases, including United States v. Nixon, which forced President Nixon to turn over the Watergate tapes, and Bakke v. Regents of the University of California, which upheld affirmative action in college admissions.
Burger's tenure as Chief Justice was a time of great change for the Supreme Court. The court became more conservative, but it also became more willing to compromise. Burger's legacy is complex, but he is undoubtedly one of the most important figures in the history of the Supreme Court.
