The Doctor.
(17,266 posts)Since I first saw it.
That 2% said 'Can name at least 2' or something like that. There was no 'refused' sliver when I saw it before.

(8,217 posts)I immediately thought about the two I hated with a passion from Bush, which constantly made me think that the office of the Presidency is important to win.
Roberts; Alito...
Then the biggest douche of the bunch.
Scalia..
Then I was able to mention some more...
Sotomayor - Because she is very recent
Thomas - Because he was another @sshat.
Kennedy - Because of his last name.
That was very quick.
Took me a while to remember...
Ginsburg; Stevens
Marshall - Just because he is so old...
Then I almost forgot
Breyer who I shall now refer to as Ice Cream.
Of course, if you ask me their first names, the only ones I can remember are the ones I don't like.
The other ones barely register in my memory.
Wait, why do I have 10? Who is gone?
JRLeft
(7,010 posts)I just don't remember much being attributed to him.
Retrograde
(10,136 posts)a long, long time ago. But yeah, I can't associate much with him either.
I can name all 9 justices: the RATS, Kennedy who sort of goes with them, the women - Ginsberg, Sotomeyer and Kagan - with Breyer bringing up the rear.

(3,577 posts)Not replacing him but sitting in his chair is the odious Clarence Thomas. Stevens is also retired, but we now have Elena Kagan (threewomen on the Court--historic!).
Xyzse
(8,217 posts)You're right, completely forgot about Kagan...
I don't really have much of an excuse other than faulty memory.
ms liberty
(8,574 posts)That is easy to remember because it's when the court flipped to a conservative majority.
Also, you named Stevens - John Paul Stevens retired and was replaced by Elena Kagan.
Ruth Ginsburg
Steven Breyer
Samuel Alito
Antonine Scalia
Sonya Sotomayor
John Roberts, the Chief Justice
Anthony(?) Kennedy
Elena Kagan
Clarence Thomas

It's so much easier to start with an ignorant know-nothing than to try and train one to be that stupid.

(2,770 posts)the knowledge of your stupidity only went as far as your high school classmates.
Nowadays, your stupidity can be viewed the world over.
