Okay, #skystorians and others, it's time for political trivia. A hunting accident made me Senator. A heart attack almost made me President. I was friendly with Herbert Hoover but FDR made me a judge. Who am I?

Would a Lenroot Presidency (1923-1929) have changed much? He was more worried about Mellon's financial policies than Coolidge was - and concerned about the consequences of German reparation payments, but OTOH it's hard to know how much he'd have been able to do about that.
