Joseph Story

Story opposed Jacksonian democracy, saying it was "oppression" of property rights by republican governments when popular majorities began in the 1830s to restrict and erode the property rights of the minority of rich men. R. Kent Newmyer presents Story as a "Statesman of the Old Republic" who tried to be above democratic politics and to shape the law in accordance with the republicanism of Alexander Hamilton and John Marshall, and the New England Whigs of the 1820s and 1830s, including Daniel Webster. Historians generally agree that Story reshaped American law—as much or more than Marshall or anyone else—in a conservative direction that protected property rights.
He was uniquely honored in the historical Steven Spielberg film ''Amistad'' when he was portrayed by retired justice Harry Blackmun. Blackmun portrays Story reading the Supreme Court's decision in the case on which the film was based: ''United States v. The Amistad''. This is the only time in known film history that one Supreme Court justice has portrayed another. Provided by Wikipedia
