The Dissenter

If you have a bit of time on your hands, I suggest reading this great article in the NY Times about Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens, who is considered the leader of the liberal bloc of the Court. With the current Supreme Court polarized along partisan lines, and questions about the ability of the Court to remain unaffected by political pressures abound, it is heartening to know that people like Justice Stevens still believe in the idea of an impartial government that does not cow to personal or political agendas.
