He was a Rockefeller Republican, a group that needs a serious revival now more than ever.

Godspeed, JPS!

I think his direct successor, Elena Kagan, has done a good job so far at continuing his style of jurisprudence.

Of the liberal justices, I like Kagan the best, with Chief Justice Roberts being my favorite of the conservative wing.

In his short time as justice, I am somewhat impressed with Brett Kavanaugh. He has a willingness to show pragmatism when necessary.
