Question of the Week
Whose Opinions Are You Anxious to Read--Whether You Agree or Not?
http://www.abajournal.com/weekly/article/whose_opinions_are_you_anxious_to_readwhether_you_agree_or_not
This week, we noted an upcoming article in the George Washington Law Review in which two George Mason University law professors propose that Congress cure the U.S. Supreme Court of its "cult of celebrity" by passing a statute requiring their opinions to be anonymous.
At the New York Times' Opinionator blog, Linda Greenhouse calls that proposal "completely out of the question, of course, but a useful thought experiment as we head into yet another nomination season."
We subsequently took a poll to see where you stood on the proposal, and an overwhelming majority indicated that opinions should be signed.
So we would like to ask those who appreciate that SCOTUS opinions are signed: Whose opinions are you anxious to read--whether you agree with them or not? And why? If you want to praise the opinions of past justices, we'll allow it. We also welcome your two cents on why you think opinions should or should not be signed.
Read the full question, then answer.

Read the answers to last week's question: Who Is History's Top Lawyer or Judge?

Featured answer:
Posted by Tony Maccarini: "John Adams. Not only did he successfully defend the British Soldiers accused of murder following the Boston Massacre, but he drafted the first constitution in the United States (for Massachusetts) which James Madison used as a model for the U.S. Constitution. He also was the chief architect of much of the major legislation passing through the Continental Congress."
