On January 27, 1801, the Senate confirmed John Marshall’s nomination to serve as the 4th Chief Justice of the Supreme Court.

To this day, Marshall remains the longest-serving chief justice, and is widely credited for establishing the high court as a co-equal branch of government.

The world is moving in a different direction. Economics and technology are dictating an end to combustion to create energy.
