Friday May 19, 2006
Categories: American Civil Liberties (general) | U.S. Supreme Court Biographies

Just because they're black-robed figures who meet in clandestine rooms doesn't mean that they're mysterious. Okay, it does, but that isn't really their fault. Get to know your Supreme Court, and find out which justice...:
  • ...served in the U.S. Navy, winning a Bronze Star.
  • ...has 26 grandchildren.
  • ...graduated from Columbia Law School with the highest GPA ever recorded.
  • ...was profiled in a college yearbook as the student who planned to "warm a seat on the Supreme Court."
