in the end is not how long something endured
but what it stood for.
Jon Roland, 1958.

Individuals
Inclusion on that page does not indicate we consider the person
strictly faithful to the Constitution according to the standards
of Jefferson and Madison, only that they deviate less than most.
We have found no judges anywhere who are consistently faithful to

unfaithful of those available, based on some of their opinions or
writings.
