Called an "eccentric exception" by Felix Frankfurter, he wrote the majority opinion in Adair v. U.S., which invalidated a federal law forbidding yellow dog contracts; also, his dissent in Hurtado v. California foreshadowed the 20th century "incorporation doctrine".  Appointed to the Supreme Court by Hayes, who he had supported in the 1876 Republican convention as head of the Kentucky delegation, he is known for his strong dissents in the 1885 Civil Rights Cases and Plessy v. Ferguson.  For 10 points - name this long-serving justice.
