As chief justice of the Supreme Court in 1953 to 1969, Warren took the court to an unparalleled liberal direction. Using his considerable Republican political abilities and assistance from progressive justices William O. Douglass and William J. Brennen, Warren expanded civil rights and liberties and the views people took upon them in the court system. In multiple cases, his influence helped important judicial decisions be made that have formed the free thinking, non-descriminating country that we live in today. Warren served as attorney general, and was elected governor afterward. In 1948 he ran for Vice President with Thomas Dewey, but was never elected because of Dewey's unsuccessful race for presidency.
