Actually you don't know what you are talking about!
On the more moderate Burger Court, Brennan was a staunch opponent of the death penalty, and a supporter of abortion rights, and joined the majority in landmark rulings on both issues (1972's Furman v. Georgia on the death penalty and 1973's Roe v. Wade on abortion). With the accession of the most conservative member of the court, William Rehnquist, to the position of Chief Justice, and the replacement of moderates Warren Burger and Lewis Powell with conservatives Antonin Scalia and Anthony Kennedy, Brennan found himself more frequently isolated. At times his opinions would be joined only by Thurgood Marshall, as by 1975 the two were the last remaining liberal justices of the Warren Court (Byron White was the third survivor of the Warren Court during Rehnquist's tenure, but he generally sided with the conservatives). This likemindedness led to both Brennan and Marshall's clerks referring to them as 'Justice Brennan-Marshall' in the face of the court's heavy conservative opposition to the two. Brennan declared in Furman that he believed the death penalty violated the Eighth Amendment's prohibition on "cruel and unusual" punishment, and for his remaining years on the bench he and Marshall dissented from every case upholding the imposition of the death penalty. He was able to convince no other justice of this view, though Justice Harry Blackmun would eventually agree in 1994--after Brennan's retirement.
In his penultimate and final terms on the Court, he wrote the controversial rulings for Texas v. Johnson and United States v. Eichman, respectively. In both cases, the Court held that the First Amendment protects flag desecration.
If all this relates to the guy,then of course his evil.
Simple people don't try to confuse,with information!.:)

Should I know something wicked about this old man? I mean he's just a Supreme Court Judge, a higher authority powerful man who decides the fates of America. So, I ain't afraid. Either you were talking about his looks or not. Peace.

Well since he's dead I doubt you need to be concerned. He does have that old-guy-in-the-70s look though, like Lorne Greene or something.

I do not think he was evil. He was a bit liberal for my tastes, but I do not think that he was evil.
