Good summary, and as a footnote: all three were 5-4 decisions; The Cnstitutional rights at stake in those cases were preserved by the slimmest of margins. Scary but hey, there’s no pictures on the scorecard.
Wonder how they’d receive him if we could strap him in a time machine and send him back to 1776?
John Paul Stevens - just a lonely and irrelevant old man trying to get some attention.
Is there anyone stupid enough to believe Stevens actually. Wrote the book himself?
In his 90s I doubt he even remembers any of this. Stevens is just an old man making a fool of himself.
“Its fascinating how the Left now regularly spends billions on elections— outspending the right— but still says its imperative to limit spending.”
Yes, they think that it’s o.k. for Unions (and public unions in particular) to be able to spend on elections without limit, but that businesses should not have that same right. The RATS are always pi$$ing on your leg and telling you that it’s raining!
I shudder to think what he feeeeeeeeeeels are his crowning achievements!
“Gerald Ford: “John Paul Stevens was my biggest mistake”.”
How many justices that became rabidly liberal have republican president appointed?
How many justices that became conservatives have democrat presidents appointed?
All the supreme court did in Bush V Gore was to ask the FL court how it came to its conclusion. The chief justice of the FSC WARNED the rest of that court that it would fail.
They then dropped the case.
Typical Rockefeller Republican.
Stevens was Ford’s biggest mistake and Souter was the elder Bush’s biggest mistake.
It will get better though. Just give it a little more time.
I think you meant “dumbass”...
There is no requirement for a Supreme Court Justice to be a lawyer.
IMHO I would say that finding a law school graduate who has respect for following the law rather then making the law is a bit like finding a needle in a haystack.
Ford is as dead as a door nail.
I have seen the grave.
John Paul Stevens: One of the worst anti-Constitutional black robed tyrants in the history of the Republic.
I cannot take Justice “sweet mystery of life” Stevens seriously.
“These Are The 3 Biggest ‘Errors’ SCOTUS Made During My Tenure”.
Or... three times I was outvoted. Self-important moron.
On the plus side...this old loser will soon meet his maker.
This turd being made a justice is number four. ***holes shouldn’t be allowed on the Supreme Court.
Militia? Hey Stevens. Go suck on the business end of a musket. Maggot.
