the idea of impeaching earl warren and impeaching earl warren because of the brown decision was something that was politically popular for a very, very long time. southern states would pass new laws to prevent integration. let me give you some examples of these laws and in some ways they are almost humorous except for the consequences that they bring about. several states gave their governors the power to close schools that were order to integrate. let me repeat that. several states gave their governors the power to close schools that the courts ordered to integrate. and in virginia the law went something like this. a governor can close a school that's been ordered to desegregate by declaring that school inefficient. inefficient. and there were governors who would do so. but the grand example of what would happen, this is essentially the governor stepping in, the grand example was prince edward county, virginia between 1957 and 1960. in that county, after a federal court had ordered prince edward county, virginia to integrate its schools, between 1957 and 1960 there were no publicly opera
