political spectrum of us supreme court justices?

Question

John Roberts
John Paul Stevens
Antonin Scalia
Anthony Kennedy
David Souter
Clarence Thomas
Ruth Bader Ginsburg
Steven Breyer
Samuel Alito

how would u describe their political spectrum?
radical, liberal, moderate, conservative, or reactionary?

Answer 1

For the most part I believe the court is essentially reactionary. All Justices listed (aside from Roberts because he is fairly new) have made more than a few decisions contradicting their supposed policital ideals. I mean these are extremely fair and intelligent people, so to label them politically is always going to be a matter of opinion. The reason they are labeled politically is how they interpret the constitution, so I think its useless to try and label them according to a political party. Originalist, progressive, etc. (I'm sure anyone who has been to law school is familiar)would be a better classification. For example Scalia reads the constitution very traditonally and strict. Thus he is labeled a conservative. I truly believe that this group of people (the supreme court) try their hardest to use the constitution in making their decisions.

Answer 2

John Roberts- Conservative
John Paul Stevens- Liberal
Antonin Scalia- Conservative
Anthony Kennedy- Moderate
David Souter- Liberal
Clarence Thomas- Conservative
Ruth Bader Ginsburg- Radical
Steven Breyer- Liberal
Samuel Alito- Conservative

Answer 3

i don't consider your fact. i've got confidence there are 4 conservatives for effective, and 5 liberal justices. Their interest is meant to be reading the U. S. shape. in basic terms Justice Suder admits to creating his judgements consistent with different materials previous the form.

Answer 4

The 5 republicans stole the 2000 election for bush. Never forget, never forgive.
