Who Would You Want On The Supreme Court?

Spend your holiday crafting your ideal Supreme Court.

Everyone is complaining about the Supreme Court. Whether you’re reading constitutional scholars or Facebook rants the consensus is that Hobby Lobby was a disaster. Except for the song.

So why not create your own Supreme Court?

Consider this an invitation to build a fantasy Supreme Court. Here’s a list of all the justices in history to choose from (or argue the merits of some deserving luminary who never — or hasn’t yet — made the Court). Choose a full complement of 9 or just pick one — we’re just playing around here.

To give you a head start to see what I mean (or give you something to criticize), here are my selections — they may reveal a bit of a bias:

Earl Warren
John Marshall
Thurgood Marshall
Ruth Bader Ginsburg
William O. Douglas
William Brennan
Abe Fortas
Hugo Black
Antonin Scalia

My explanations for each selection are available here — I wrote these explanations for more of a lay audience so I figured I wouldn’t bore you with them here.
