Assassination Attempts And The Supreme Court

Fortunately, there's only been one attempt on Supreme Court Justice's life.

Old Cowboy Pistols.Who was the only Supreme Court Justice to deal with an assassination attempt?

Hint: The Justice was hearing a convoluted divorce case in his capacity as senior justice of the Federal Circuit Court in California when he ruled against former California Supreme Court Chief Justice David Terry, and held him in contempt of court. A year later, Terry made an unsuccessful attempt on the Justice’s life, but was shot and killed by a U.S. Marshal.
