Reply #88: Irony much? Check what Reply 55 actually says before implying Justice Stevens is in a fantasy world

[No Elephants]

While neither Reply #55 nor Justice Stevens ever said, or even implied, that Stevens is more liberal than Ginsburg, most of those who cover the SCOTUS have indeed said that, with Stevens' retirement, the SCOTUS is losing its most liberal Justice {most liberal current Justice, that is).

Many of those who cover the Court are, of course, theselves lawyers and/or legal scholars. Whatever they are ro are not, they do sit through every Court session, from admissions to practice before the Court, to listening to every oral argument and every question and comment from each of the Justices. And read every opinion, in its entirety. And probably every opinion that the SCOTUS has ever issued.

No doubt your knowledge of the SCCOTUS exceeds theirs. Or, maybe they DO all do have a richer fantasy life than you do. So, I'll spot you Ginsburg--and gladly, if we're talking only about my personal opinion and not what those SCOTUS commentators have been saying about Stevens.

However, the point of this thread is not whether Ginsburg is more liberal or exactly as liberal or less liberal than Stevens. Please see Reply 86.
