McReynolds in fiction

McReynolds is portrayed as head of the Confederate Supreme Court in Harry Turtledove's Timeline-191 books. When McReynolds declares a popular bill by President Jake Featherston unconstitutional, Featherston temporarily abolishes the court through a legal loophole. When the court is reformed, it is much more agreeable with Featherston and does not include McReynolds.
