Nobody knows?
The four Justices, referred to as the Four Horsemen, were Pierce Butler, James McReynolds, George Sutherland and Willis Van Devanter.
In the middle were Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes and Justice Owen J. Roberts.
C.J. Hughes often sided with the liberal Justices, Louis Brandeis, Benjamin Cardozo, and Harlan Fiske Stone, while Justice Roberts often sided with the conservatives of the Court.
Between 1932 and 1935, they were instrumental in invalidating several key parts of Roosevelt's New Deal.
The similarity ends there, as Justice Kennedy is the swing vote on the present Court, not C.J. Roberts.
