Nixon believed the Warren Court had been too liberal and too activist, and vowed to nominate only conservative justices to the Supreme Court to rollback certain progressive changes instituted over the past two decades. Nixon had been quoted as saying he wanted to place a "strict constructionist" on the Court, meaning someone who would interpret the Constitution narrowly, with more of an eye to federal rights over individual rights, and who showed more judicial restraint.
Nixon found the "strict constructionist" in Justice William H. Rehnquist, whose elevation to Chief Justice marked the Supreme Court's latest transition toward ultra-conservatism.

Is the US President required to enforce a Supreme Court decision even if he disagrees with it?
In order to protect the checks and balances of the government the Supreme Court can find a piece of legislation unconstitutional, but their decision can not be overridden by the President. The only way that the decision of the Supreme Court can be overruled is by them reversing their decision or the constitution of the state being revised. The President has the power to appoint Justices to the Supreme Court - with confirmation by the Senate but once they are on the bench, their rulings are binding and the President cannot overrule them. The most that the President could do is persuade Congress to impeach a member of the Court (otherwise they serve until they either resign/retire or until they die). The President could also work with Congress to pass a Constitutional Amendment to overturn a ruling by the Supreme Court.
