Bad SCOTUS justices in history, not including the current ones or Roger B. Taney

[I’m not Stu]

Can you list justices from the past (excluding Roger Brooke Taney) that you believe were crappy?

[I’m not Stu]

Melville Fuller
James McReynolds
Rufus Peckham
Nathan Clifford
Pierce Butler
Willis Vandevanter
Stephen Johnson Field
Mahlon Pitney
George Sutherland
William Rehnquist
Antonin Scalia
Sandra Day O'Connor
Anthony Kennedy
James Byrnes

[I’m not Stu]

Fuller, Field, and Peckham (in Plessy and Lochner majority)
McReynolds (one of the Four Horsemen and extreme bigot)
Butler, Vandevanter, and Sutherland (the other members of the Four Horsemen)
Byrnes (Dixiecrat)
Pitney (anti-labor and upheld Leo Frank's wrongful conviction)
Clifford (neutered the Reconstruction amendments)
Rehnquist and Scalia (Rehnquist and Scalia had an abysmal civil rights record, both in Bush v. Gore majority; Scalia tried to strike down the Affordable Care Act, and was in the majority for Shelby County and Citizens United)
O'Connor (co-wrote Bush v. Gore and quit at the wrong time)
Kennedy (co-wrote Bush v. Gore, wrote Citizens United, anti-labor, in Shelby County majority, tried to strike down the Affordable Care Act quit at the wrong time and personally chose Kavanaugh for Trump to appoint)

Can anything positive be said about McReynolds? What would a devils advocate defense for him even look like?
He strikes me as one of the very worst justices in the Court's history, period.

Nothing positive can be said about McReynolds. McReynolds dissented in the case that overturned the conviction of the Scottsboro Boys, which was written by Four Horsemen member George Sutherland.
