The Supreme Court

by Bob Taylor Properties on January 19, 2009

Part of an American President’s legacy is his (or her) Supreme Court appointments.   Mr. Obama may have at least one appointment to make in the next four years, given that Justice John Paul Stevens is now in his late eighties.

There is a list of the current Supreme Court Justices, sorted by each Justice’s year of birth:

JUSTICE NAME

 YEAR OF BIRTH

 YEAR APPOINTED

 APPOINTED BY
       
John Paul Stevens 1920 1975 Gerald Ford
Ruth Bader Ginsberg 1933 1993 Bill Clinton
Anthony Kennedy 1936 1988 Ronald Regan
Antonin Scalia 1936 1986 Ronald Regan
Stephen Breyer 1938 1994 Bill Clinton
David Hackett Souter 1939 1990 George H. W. Bush
Clarence Thomas 1948 1991 George H. W. Bush
Samuel Alito 1950 2006 George W. Bush
John Roberts, Chief Justice 1955 2005 George W. Bush
       

Here is the same list, sorted by each Justice’s year of appointment:

Something to ponder.
