Ruling federal income tax to be unconstitutional, what conservative Grover Cleveland-appointee championed limited federal government, states' rights, and economic freedom?

Melville Weston Fuller served 21 years, 269 days, and, during his tenure, ruled on Pollock v.

Ferguson, which upheld Jim Crow laws and expanded on the "separate but equal" doctrine.
