[edit] Retirement or resignation?

On List of Justices of the Supreme Court of the United States, it says resignation. On this page, it says something like retirement to me. What's true? -- Toytoy July 2, 2005 03:50 (UTC)


How do you expect him to retire if he didn't first resign? —Preceding unsigned comment added by ThePug (talk • contribs) 23:55, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] The naming of the "United States"

Oliver Ellsworth made sure our government continued to be called the "United States" government by his motion, he did not create the term and he was not the first to use the term.Tomticker5 (talk) 21:30, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Resignation due to pains

I added this due to the pains he suffered which ended his career: Even if Ellsworth was viewed as "a valuable acquisition ot the Court," and "a great loss to the Senate," he resigned after just 4 years due to his "constant, and at times excruciating pains," sufferings made worst by his Europe travels, as special envoy to France.[1] --Florentino floro (talk) 06:25, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
