Justice William O. Douglas served 36 years. Hopefully, Clarence Thomas will serve at least that long. These men and women are so amazing.

On RBG's wonderful anniversary, I'd also like to remember and thank President Jimmy Carter for starting RBG on her path to SCOTUS by appointing her to the US Court of Appeals, D.C..    And then thanks to President Clinton for completing her path by appointing her to the SCOTUS.

This strong, fierce woman managed to vote on a crucial issue while in her hospital  bed being treated for lung cancer.  

 

Live long and prosper Madame Justice. You are one in a million.

I was fortunate to catch an interview with Justice Thomas on CSPAN a few months ago.  It was nice to hear him speak of his youth and wonderful life with his wife.  They enjoy  traveling the country in their motorhome.  He said they look forward to spending his retirement years visiting more of North America.
