My favorite Supreme Court Justice of all time.
As a kid he saw Babe Ruth's "called shot" at Wrigley field....CBS posted the clip of his recollection...goodstuff
I'm always amazed at how Q&A will have these amazing subjects and squander the time on inane questions.

Thank you for posting this, CSPAN.

@Zakariah1971 I am in awe of your criticism of Justice Stevens. In one of your comments you write that "the fool never bothered to assess the validity of the 11th Amendment under the Constitution. The 11th Amendment is void (Vide Hollingsworth et al v. Virginia 1798)." The job of a justice is not to "assess" the validity of a constitutional amendment. An amendment is, by definition, the text of the Constitution. To the extent any previous provision of the Constitution, statute, or case law conflicts with a Constitutional amendment, the previous precedent is void.
Wow...
Not doe but I am petitioner in Lafreniere v UC Regents 11-5790 at the Supreme Court...
What irks me is the Court's failure to follow stare decisis in it's 11th Amendment jurisprudence set in Hopkins v Clemson College 221 US 636 (1911)(the 11th Amendment is void)
Tragedy remember who he is .!respect college and friend.,if you ask god too return in life would you..?ask God.faith
How many lives did this one man ruin with assanine rulings like Regents v Doe!!
Good mind but he is an absolute fool for thinking the second amendment does not mean and individuals right to bear arms. For that reason as for others he has no sense of Constitutional law or interpretation. Because the 2nd amendment has always meant the right to bear arms. Only a person who has never studied history would say it doesn’t. For that reason I find him as a lesser judge.
