Justice Harry Blackmun and Chief Justice Warren Burger, old friends and fellow Minnesotans, were referred to as the Minnesota Twins early in Blackmun's career on the bench because of Blackmun's tendency to vote with the Chief Justice on most decisions. Although Blackmun was a conservative when Nixon first nominated him to the court, he become more liberal over the years, so the nickname no longer applied. By the time Justice Blackmun retired, he was considered the most liberal member of the Court.
Justice Blackmun used to refer to himself as "Ol' No. 3," because he was the third justice Nixon nominated to replace Justice Abe Fortas, who resigned under pressure. The first two nominees, Clement Haynsworth, Jr. and G. Harrold Carsswell, were rejected by the Senate for their poor judicial records on civil rights issues. Blackmun won the unanimous support of the Senate.

The Burger Court vote in Roe v. Wade, 410 US 113 (1973) was split 7-2, as contrasted with the later 5-4 Rehnquist Court vote in Planned Parenthood v. Casey, 505 US 833 (1992), a later case that upheld Roe and removed many obstacles in state laws restricting women's access to abortion without overtly prohibiting it. The the voting shift in the latter case was caused by the addition of more conservative justices to the Court, following a long string of Republican Presidencies.

Former President Richard Nixon nominated G. Harrold Carswell to replace Justice Abe Fortas, who resigned in 1969 due to a conflict of interest. Carswell was a Southerner with a history of supporting segregation and opposing women's rights, generating strong vocal resistance from civil rights groups. The Senate ultimately rejected Carswell by a vote of 45-51 on April 8, 1970.
Carswell was the second of three candidates nominated to succeed Fortas. The first, Clement Haynesworth, was rejected 45-55 by Democrats and liberal Republicans (oxymoron) alike due to his conservative voting record, and anti-labor ideology.
Nixon finally nominated Harry Blackmun, a judge who had served more than a decade on the US Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit. Blackmun was confirmed by a vote of 94-0 in June 1970.

In the landmark case of US v. Nixon (1974), the dissenting opinions, primarily voiced by Justices Harry Blackmun and Lewis Powell, argued that the president should have certain privileges that protect national interests.

The dissenters expressed concern that the ruling could set a precedent for judicial overreach into executive affairs, potentially disrupting the balance established by the Constitution.
