election loser John W. Davis unsuccessfully argued a portion of this case that saw the Clark testimony, Briggs v. Elliott. Fred Vinson's successor allowed the controversial phrase "all deliberate speed" to govern enforcement of this case, possibly in order to secure a 9-0 majority, which helped prompt the characterization of that man's appointment as a "damned-fool mistake" by Dwight Eisenhower. Bolling v. Sharpe was also combined into, for 10 points, what early decision by the Warren Court which overturned Plessy v. Fe
