Jeez, did any of these Surpremes ever do anything interesting?

[Rev. Arthur L. Kirkland]

An unqualified Republican bigot who had a nervous breakdown on the bench and quit? Seems somewhat interesting.

A federal court building is named for this downscale quitter. That seems interesting, too.

New Jersey v. Delaware, decided March 31, 2008. One of the Court’s original jurisdiction cases, settling a boundary dispute as to the Delaware River. I’ve always found these fascinating because the Court always refers these to a special master instead of hearing the evidence themselves. Some of the Justices have never presided over a trial and it might do them some good. Next time, let’s have them designate Barrett as presiding judge and see how she does. She’s never tried a case, either as a judge or even as an attorney.

Like Breyer? and he's had a 50 year head start.

[Dan Schiavetta]

Breyer had been a prosecutor.

Hey, Frankie. The Justices are all dangerous outlaws. Every day, they are in insurrection against the constitution. Article I Section 1 gives all legislative power to the Congress. Judicial review is breaking the law. At some point, someone will read the plain language of the constitution, and arrest these banditos.

And then what? that sorry excuse for a "Gallows" the "Insurrectionists" wouldn't even support handing someone in Effigy. (when did Hanging in Effigy go out of style? seems like the Ear-Ronians are the only ones still doing it)
