Chief Justice John Rutledge

[Dan Schiavetta]

You could mention that he was bounced from his job by Congress after he made a speech criticizing the President who had recess-appointed him, and that his tenure was the shortest of any Chief Justice, but that would be too instructive.

Or you could just look him up on the internet.

Or you could just get mad! and make a silly comment

[Syd Henderson]

Specifically, he spoke out against the Jay treaty, which had been negotiated by his predecessor. Rutledge apparently lost it after his rejection, if not before.

[Dan Schiavetta]

Supposedly during the summer of 1787 he was the one who got together with Roger Sherman to engineer the "Connecticut compromise".
