| | John Paul Stevens - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | For example, Stevens, a World War II veteran, was visibly angered by liberal attorney William Kunstler's flippant defense of flag-burning in oral argument in 1989's Texas v. | | | His Segal-Cover score, a measure of liberalism/conservatism of Court members, is -.6, which would place him as the sixth most liberal member of the Court. | | | Cleburne Living Center, Stevens argued against the Supreme Court's famous "strict scrutiny" doctrine for laws involving "suspect classifications", putting forth the view that all classifications should be evaluated on the basis of the "rational basis" test as to whether they could have been enacted by an "impartial legislature." |

| | Stevens also defers to lower court decisions and to Supreme Court precedent, but, again, not if they are badly done. | | | Stevens, however, is a justice without a social agenda. | | | Independent-minded pragmatists like Stevens are not often appointed to the Court because presidents usually want justices who will vote reliably and not oppose their programs. |

| | At present Stevens is the most senior associate justice, and defers only to Chief Justice Rehnquist in matters of court tradition and protocol. | | | Considered more practical than ideological, Stevens is known for taking independent stances, showing deference to the legislative branch and paying special attention to the individuality of each case brought before the court. | | | Beginning with the Reagan administration, Stevens began to appear more liberal as the court as a whole moved to the right. |

| | For example, in the decision extending federal court jurisdiction to detainees at Guantánamo Bay, Justice Stevens firmly established as law a legal argument he first encountered in 1948 as a Supreme Court law clerk. | | | It is in this role as a kind of shadow chief justice that Stevens has undercut the agenda of the court's more conservative justices. | | | Under court tradition, shortly after oral argument in each case the justices vote on how the case should be resolved. |

| | Justice Stevens, writing for the Court, noted that the concept of per se illegality of tying arrangements when the tying product was protected by a patent had “migrated” from the court-created patent misuse doctrine to the antitrust laws. | | | Since Stevens is a sure vote for upholding Roe, it's worth pro-lifers' time to wait for him to leave the court. | | | On the other hand, if the issue is decided while Stevens is still on the bench, not only will that strengthen Roe's status as binding precedent, (the court is unlikely to revisit the issue in back-to-back years) but it will also make Democrats' warnings about Roe being overturned more credible. |
