Are we allowed to Google?

BTW, the Viscount is the Justice's wife's brother; than the Justice's sister's husband.

I'm having no luck finding a "Viscount of the Supreme Court"; much less one related to a President

The question was, "Which president appointed the brother-in-law of a viscount to the Supreme Court."

A couple of hints:

The viscount in question is not a courtesy title; it is a substantive title (and carried a seat in the Lords prior to 1999).

Both The Justice and the Justice's spouse could use the courtesy title "Hon.," thought it would be "Honorable" and "Honourable."  Smiley  Who is the Justice and which president made the appointment.

Michael Hare is a brother-in-law of U.S. Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer, who was appointed by William Jefferson Clinton.


BTW, I said him earlier!

Reagan National in VA

JFK in NYC

Those are the only two I can think of.

I'm assuming that you're not angling for airports named indirectly for a president by being named for a city that was named for a President.

Abraham Lincoln Capital Airport - Springfield, Illinois
Gerald R. Ford International Airport - Grand Rapids, Michigan
John F. Kennedy International Airport - New York, New York
George Bush Intercontinental Airport - Houston, Texas
Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport - Arlington, Virginia


What do John Q, Adams, Van Buren, Polk, Pierce, Lincoln, Garfield, Cleveland, Theodore Roosevelt, Taft, Kennedy, Carter, and Clinton have in common that no other President shares with them so far?

Did they all have a relative in the Senate?

Nothing to do with either relatives or the Senate.
