| I can name eight of the justices: Thomas, Scalia, Chief Justice Roberts, Kennedy, Ginsburg, Sotomayor, Breyer, xxx and Kagan. (Samuel Alito - next to Kagan - is the missing name). |
A majority of people don’t know the name of the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. More frightening? Eight percent named Thurgood Marshall, who not only was never the Chief Justice but also died in 1993. And let’s not even talk about the four percent who think Harry Reid, a Senator not a member of the Supreme Court, is the Chief Justice. (Washington Post)
Editor's notes: not sure what the point of this excerpt is, but I can tell you what it means to me:
over the past several years the Supreme Court has functioned in a remarkably no partisan manner, or we all would have more exposure to the makeup of the Court and the identities of its nine justices, no?

Since John Roberts was appointed to
the High Court (September of 2005), and began serving as the Chief Justice of
that that court, there have been nearly 500 High Court decisions. The Obama Democrats have gone on record, whining about the Court's Citizens United (Jan 25, 2010). That's 499 decisions without a whimper, and then, suddenly because of Citizens United, the Court is "the most partisan of all time."
Nothing but blow from the Democrats, on this one; an effort on their part to pollute the intellectual pool of this country as they, the Obama style Democrats, work to create or amend their own legal system at some point in the future.
