Justice Herbert Donelon, served (1801-1837).
Justice Donelon was responsible for the three decisions which led to the expansion of the U.S. from the Ohio territory to the discovery of the Pacific westward route. His vision is credited with establishing the American "can do" spirit which has led to this nation's many successes. In his spare time, Justice Donelon worked on numerous inventions at his Chevy Chase condo. His most successful invention was the enema bulb. |

Learned Hand never sat on the Supreme Court. My favorite: Antonin Scalia. Except for his ruling in the medical marijuana case, he has been perhaps the most consistent originalist to sit on the Court. |

Only problem is that Learned Hand was never a member of the Supremes. |

Although he had a silly, expansive view of federal authority, I like Byron White's remark that the idea that a right to homosexual sodomy was enshrined in the Consititution is "facetious at best."
That was 1986. Times change. Funny how it's perfectly proper to overturn a Supreme Court decision that the libs hate, but when you get one they like, stare decisis suddenly achieves the status of holy writ. |

All the more reason to select my guy....Herbert Donelon. He was the best. He was da man. I forgot to mention; along with the enema bulb, he invented that thing you use to spread cream cheese on toast. Oh, yeah, it's a knife. How can anyone not like my guy, Justice Herbert Donelon?  Go ahead and vote for Pedro; but also vote for Donelon. |

Well. Other than that. I hate lawyer trivia. However, he was often called the “tenth justice of the Supreme Court" www.encyclopedia.com/html/h/hand-l1ea.asp |

Taney done good in Ex parte Merryman (even drew an arrest warrant from the Lincoln administration because he stuck up for the Constitution), but his reputation will forever be tarnished by the unprincipled, activist tripe he wrote in Dred Scott. |

I don't understand how you guys can like Scalia after he ruled against state's rights in the medical marijuana case. He called something you do in your own home interstate commerce. He is a big government guy. F him.

C'mon. My guy, Justice Donelon didn't like Scalia either.
In fact, he died before Scalia was even born; that's how much he didn't like him. Please select Justice Herbert Donelon as your all time favorite. Vote for Pedro and vote for Justice Herbert Donelon...opener of the country, inventor of the enema bulb and other stuff. |

Big deal. Byron White -U. of Colorado fooball star. -Rhodes Scholar. -Naval Intelligence during WWII. -Worked his way through law school as a running back for the Pittsburgh Steelers and Detroit Lions. -First in his class at Yale Law School. -Assistant Attorney General. -Associate Justice, U.S. Supreme Court. -Dissented in Roe v. Wade. -Infinitely superior to his successor (Ruth Bader Ginsburg). Not perfect, but way above average and with one of the most intersting career paths. |

Okay, I wan't even going to mention this; but you leave me
no choice. It just so happened that Justice Herbert Donelon wrote the decision that ultimately, allowed kewpi dolls to roll off American assembly lines way back in 1912. Sure, he was long dead; and yes, he had no idea that Vischysois vs VanMeter would be the benchmark and groundbreaking legal decision it was; but Justice Donelon's majority opinion was key to freeing up war-related assembly lines so carnivals, fairs, and midways across America could offer kewpi dolls as prizes. I would go so far to suggest that the great Broadway musical "Oklahoma" would not have been the success it was without the "kewpi" scene. Alfred Drake, Betty Garde, Joan Roberts, and Howard da Silva would not have become the huge stars they did in the original 1947 production of the play had it not been for the forward thinking Justice we have come to know and love; Justice Herbert Donelon. Please; vote Pedro and vote Donelon. |

Thanks, JohntheTexacan.
We're on our way. The family of Justice Herbert Donelon, and Pedro's family thank you. Just seventy-one more pro-Donelon votes and we will issue a major press release about plans to memorialize the memory of that great man forever. On the fence? Consider this. If you have ever had a successful enema, you can thank Justice Donelon. |
