SCOTUS Lowdown. With all the Supreme Court decisions being handed down this week, one may by curious about the generations of the Justices. The following table gives the lowdown:

Source: About the Supreme Court

Justice

Generation (YOB)

Years Served

John Paul Stevens

G.I. (1920)

28

William Rehnquist (Chief)

G.I. (1924)

17

Sandra Day O’Connor

Silent (1930)

22

Ruth Bader Ginsburg

Silent (1933)

10

Antonin Scalia

Silent (1936)

17

Anthony M. Kennedy

Silent (1936)

15

Stephen G. Breyer

Silent (1938)

9

David Hacket Souter

Silent (1939)

13

Clarence Thomas

Boomer (1948)

12


As far as any relationship between the generation of a Justice and his or her opinions in recent cases, the only pattern I can discern is that the lone Boomer, Thomas, is usually dissenting from the majority. Many years from now, when the Court is mostly Boomers instead of mostly Silents, it will hand out judgements in which the state's interest is perceived to be morality, as opposed to diversity.

New look. Announcing a change to Generation Watch- it is now at www.generationwatch.us, and is basically this blog. The news portal is at LifeCourse, has all the news links, and can be reached at http://www.lifecourse.com/generationwatch. Hopefully it will improve as a resource for generational news hounding.
