Roberts. There may be someone with more pure intellect, but he knows the game and is playing a 30-year strategy. Scalia would win a battle to lose the war. Roberts will likely end up as important as Warren so long as GOP wins the occasional WH bid.

To be fair,

lol just lol @ all of the (predictable) Thomas hate ITT.

Is he the "smartest" man currently on the court? Probably not.

Is he bottom third? I highly doubt it.

But MAFs will continue to think he's dumb because (1) he's black, and (2) he doesn't like to write long, florid, intricate dissents like Scalia et al when he can just get to the fucking point and say what he thinks and move on. Typical that pseudo-intellectuals would mistake principled bare-bones minimalism for lack of ability.

To be fair,

And maybe Ginsburg and possibly Kagan (I think it's too early to really tell with the latter, although everyone seems to be rushing to lap at her cunt ITT)

Which would put him squarely in the middle of the court for intelligence.

He is, of course, at the very top of the list when it comes to being principled and intellectually honest and consistent in his jurisprudence.

"Justice O'Connor has often been cited as saying that a wise old man and wise old woman will reach the same conclusion in deciding cases. I am not so sure Justice O'Connor is the author of that line since Professor Resnik attributes that line to Supreme Court Justice Coyle. I am also not so sure that I agree with the statement. First, as Professor Martha Minnow has noted, there can never be a universal definition of wise. Second, I would hope that a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experiences would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a white male who hasn't lived that life."

The logic here always baffles me. If we're talking about "richness of experiences," wouldn't a person the same ethnicity as ~70% of the US population have experiences more reflective of America at large than someone from an ethnicity that is only ~15% of the population?

If we're talking about smarts, wouldn't it be better to have a 100 IQ like 70% of the country than a 150?

lots of junior varsity SCOTUS watching here.

Alito is a smart motherfucker.

Not sure about the Ginsburg and Kagan love, or the Sotomayor hate. Also, for everyone rating Kennedy--have you read any of his opinions? The guy can't string together a coherent logical argument, though he has a knack for rhetorical flourish.

More than any other Justice, he cuts through the bullshit and focuses his oral questioning and opinions on the real issues in the case. Nino will be screaming about some bullshit from the 18th Century while Breyer is spinning a 4 minute hypothetical about nanotechnology from rogue states, and Alito will throw down the "isn't the real issue X and don't you lose because Y?"

I think his personal values and worldview are scary but I would trust him more than any other Justice to write an opinion that actually decides the hard issue.

that's how I feel when I hear him at argument, where he easily seems like a top 3 Justice (Roberts and Kagan are cr at argument as well), but then his opinions are sps. just in the last couple weeks, have you read his opinions in Williams, Knox, the pharma sales rep case, and his dissent in Alvarez?

If I had to guess who was the smartest today (and we're all guessing) I'd say Roberts Alito or Kagan

old people's minds dont work as well. her prime was probably when she was in her mid-20s to early 30s. iirc, she murked everybody at harvard, and people were pissed when she transfered to columbia b/c they knew they'd get murked too. they were right

edit: if you mean prime in the supreme court, right when she was appointed obv.

2. kennedy was a mediocre student at hls, and often writes opinions that are objectively retarded
