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!

They’re all too old by at least the midpoint of their careers on the court, let alone by the end.

the dead ones because they are not alive and no longer able to harm the working class.

The Supreme Court is obviously a reactionary institution and you really have to squint to find any good in it. That being said, Thurgood Marshall and Sonia Sotomayor probably clear the bar of “good.”

True, and I might point this out in my paper. But to be honest my primary concern is getting a good grade, not written something which is actually true

Does it have to be a US American one?
