The Supreme Court berth that Justice John Paul Stevens is leaving has been held by only three men going back almost a century.

Stevens joined the court in 1975, replacing William Douglas. Douglas was the last remaining justice nominated by President Franklin Delano Roosevelt; he was confirmed in 1939. Before him, the position was held by Louis Brandeis, a Woodrow Wilson nominee who was confirmed in 1916. Average length of service for the three of them: 31.3 years.

The next candidate will be the 159th nominee in Supreme Court history. CongressDaily has assembled a convenient guide to the 158 who have come before.
