Hoover nominates John J. Parker to the Supreme Court

President Hoover nominated North Carolina Judge John J. Parker to fill the Supreme Court vacancy created by the March 8 death of Associate Justice Edward T. Sanford.

Parker’s nomination set off a high-profile confirmation fight over his judicial record and views on labor and civil rights, becoming a significant early test of interest-group influence on Supreme Court appointments.
