Justice Steven's legacy - Brilliance and humility

“I’ve never felt any interest in trying to break any records,” -Justice Stevens

One time, walking into a Court reception, Stevens relieved a law clerk of the task another Justice had assigned her: serving coffee to that Justice and the other men in the room. "Thank you for taking your turn with the coffee," Stevens told her. "I think it's my turn now." — Diane Marie Amann

1. Truly amazing. My favorite of the current ones on the Court.

The last moderate Republican in national politics.
