Thurgood Marshall and William O. Douglas.
My current favorites are Justices Bader Ginsburg, Breyer, Souter and Stevens.

You have got to be kidding with that ridiculous list. Filled with Klansmen, Republicans, and racists, it is. And you wonder why people rarely take you seriously?

He admitted in the Carter/Gore thread that he posts to piss people off and cares not if people respect him or apparently if they take him seriously. Thus, he is by my understanding of the definition, a troll in that regard.

To wit:

Yea hello, I never "swore" off pissing liberals off...that really is the point right? I just said that I would be more "gentle" in my pissing off approach!

http://www.ledge.fleetwoodmac.net/sh...89&page=5&pp=3

Do you honestly think that I come here, to gain respect from you guys and to appear as a genius? Of course I am going to look like an idiot! Let’s take a look at the people I’m surrounded by here. One "right-winger" amongst many, many "left-wingers" is not going to be well liked! If you think I'm on a desperate mission to seek the approval of those whom I do not even know...you really have no clue.

http://www.ledge.fleetwoodmac.net/sh...t=22589&page=3

Yet, he then said, quite inexplicably IMO:

Never presented myself as a victim, just simply stated that I wasn't being taken seriously. Not mad about it. Not crying over it. Just said it was pointless!

http://www.ledge.fleetwoodmac.net/sh...9&page=5&pp=15

Then - to the contray of his whining about not being taken seriously:

Again, I don't really care what anyone here thinks of me, hence the "I'm not here to gain respect" reference above. Silly rabbit...

http://www.ledge.fleetwoodmac.net/sh...9&page=5&pp=15

To be fair, the whole thread should be read for a better concept of the context. But, that is what he said in direct response to questions like the one you posed.

A crusade against little ol' me! This is fun. Although I do have to say that the only person who cares...is you! Why do I "get to you" so much?

edit: Note: I would also really appreciate it if you wouldn't hijack all of my threads with this very off topic crusade. Thanks.

I guess you "get to" him because your posts are so disingenuous and flippant and that you usually post inflammatory comments designed to annoy people and then have this "Who me, what'd I do?" faux-sheepish attitude all the while posting dubious material that is rarely backed up by facts, more often supported by opinions of right-wing nut jobs.

I guess maybe that could be it.

Right now, I'm eating a huge hot fudge sundae. The ice cream is too frozen, though, and just gave me a brain freeze.

Anyone else hate when that happens? What other pet peeves do ya'll have?

I had when I eat corn on the cob and I always get that one little piece of corner stuck in my teeth. As much as I suck and suck and suck, and pick and pick and pick, the bloody thing won't budge. I suppose those little pieces of corn are very much like Republicans.

Yeah, I hate when that happens as well. That is rather annoying!
