I have to write a paper on my “favorite” Supreme Court judge, which I obviously don’t have. So, does anyone know a good judge I could write about? Edit: A couple of people suggested Thurgood Marshall, who looks like a good option. The idea of picking a terrible judge to write about sounds like fun, but I’m not sure how effective arguing that the Supreme Court is bad because of one bad judge would be. I prefer to write about stuff I like over stuff I hate anyways. Thanks comrades!
If it’s current, Sotomayor is your only option.

If dead justices count, yeah, Thurgood Marshall. Another option is John Marshall Harlan (not to be confused with his grandson of the same name, also a Supreme Court justice who was named after another Supreme Court justice), who was the only dissenter in Plessy v. Ferguson.
