my favorite justice...

i'm being taunted to participate in this little game by my dear friends at chelsea morning and slightly absurd. what can i say? i'm a follower at heart. right.

so, while grant has his justice thomas (i still don't buy his explanation for this) and andrew has his justice brennan (whom i absolutely adore; brennan is my number 2), i've got my dear fantastic justice thurgood marshall. the NAACP, brown v. board of ed., first black supreme court justice, champion of civil rights, staunch opponent of the death penalty, et cetera et cetera -- thurgood marshall is nothing less than brilliant!
