Showing Original Post only (View all)Favorite all-time Supreme Court Justice [View all]
I use to say that Thurgood Marshall was my favorite but lately Ruth Bader Ginsberg has been slowly creeping up behind the legendary Marshall and could possibly be the best.
I know there are many other awesome SCOTUS justices out there but personally I think Marshall and Ginsberg are two of the best. I'd like to take this to a poll and see what you folks think.
I've listed some of the greatest (of the last couple of decades) out there of all time but I did leave a blank for anyone who wants to add in their own 2 cents.
