I'm a big fan of Stephen Breyer. I like his eye to pragmatism and eye to the effects of SCOTUS decisions. Even when Ginsburg was on the court, who I consider brilliant, I think Breyer was probably in some ways still my favorite justice.

Who is yours?

When Thomas hits he's on-point, and his style of writing is the most approachable to a non-jurist like myself (Thomas himself was only a judge for 18 months before being appointed to SCOTUS).  Breyer's legal approach primarily revolves around more functional or practical concerns, which is a nice reprieve given how much more ideologically-animated the Court has recently become.

I'm not so much of a partisan hack.  I can admire qualities of both liberal and conservative jurisprudence.

I quite agree. Hence my recommendation of that quoted post of yours.
