A Random Friday Poll: Your Favorite Supreme Court Justice
This is NOT an official ATL contest. We won’t offer any commentary on the candidates, to keep the proceedings objective. This is simply a random Friday poll that we’re conducting for our own curiosity.
Readers of this site are generally interested in, and highly knowledgeable about, the United States Supreme Court. Many of you might be called “legal nerds” or “judicial groupies” (both of which we view as badges of honor).
So while we have you all here, we thought we’d ask:
Who is your favorite U.S. Supreme Court justice? | |
Chief Justice John G. Roberts, Jr. | |
Justice John Paul Stevens | |
Justice Antonin Scalia | |
Justice Anthony M. Kennedy | |
Justice David H. Souter | |
Justice Clarence Thomas | |
Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg | |
Justice Stephen G. Breyer | |
Justice Samuel A. Alito, Jr. | |

We know that such online polls have been conducted previously. See, e.g., here. And we have seen articles in which legal experts are asked to name their favorite member of the SCOTUS. See, e.g., here.
But we haven’t seen such polls or articles for the Court as currently constituted, i.e., after the appointements of Chief Justice John Roberts and Associate Justice Samuel Alito. So we thought we’d run such a poll and see what results we get.
Please cast your vote, so this tally will be as accurate a representation of ATL reader opinion as possible. Thanks!
