In a book I have recently been reading "Being Nixon", it quickly mentions that Nixon at one point confided in his fiancee Ola Florence Welch that he aspired to become Chief Justice of the Supreme Court someday. Has anyone ever heard any more detail regarding Nixon's initial aspiration?

What do you think Nixon in the Supreme Court (or the Nixon Court even) would have been like taking into account it would likely take him down a road where he is barely in elected politics. Who might have appointed him?
