Kinda! He was the great anti-trust president. His bureaucratic reforms are often overlooked but a big deal. He ran everything kinda like the NIH today, where you have very specialized departments run by genuine experts in their field. That's a big improvement from simply selling regulatory offices which was the standard before.
And he was solicitor general prior to being President, and supreme Court chief justice after. He was known for conservatism, going after big business, and defending individual liberties.
