Info box[edit]

The info box gives his term of office, but doesn't indicate which office. Is there a good way of fixing that? -Will Beback 00:57, 10 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I changed the template. Done. -Will Beback 19:11, 10 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The article states that Vinson was "the last Chief Justice born in the 19th Century." This is not correct. Chief Justice Earl Warren was born in 1891. Bdcrph (talk) 05:47, 8 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Marihuana section[edit]

The paragraph on the Marihuana Act of 1937 should be removed entirely. It has no citation, and the Wikipedia article on the same Act does not mention Vinson. Dedicating a separate section in the Vinson article to one obscure law among the hundreds which Vinson worked on, and using a phrase like "false facts" smacks of a personal agenda by the author. Catherinejarvis (talk) 20:41, 1 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed. I decided to be bold and delete it as WP:UNDUE. TJRC (talk) 20:55, 1 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, the "Marihuana" section IS relevant. Vinson, was a main, if not the main, supporter of the bill in the House, and ... reportedly was a blatant liar and implicit racist in support of it. http://www.counterpunch.org/2013/07/12/the-prohibition-of-marijuana-in-three-acts/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.0.104.129 (talk) 18:07, 14 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
