Only pick one, your favorite and consider the possibility that they might be replaced by John Ashcroft or Orin Hatch if we don't work our tails off!

7. When I was in law school and had to read a lot of cases, Thurgood

Marshall's opinions would sometimes make me tear up. He was a great justice. Never abandoned the least of us. He was a great great man.

3. How I yearn for the days of a true giant like William O Douglas....

You young guys have never known the feeling of truly ADMIRING a justice. He was far ahead of his time, a brilliant scholar and as fine a justice as ever lived.

Probably, the man I admire most in history, next to Jefferson.

He not only had a first-rate legal mind, he was a truly wonderful person.
