Zig for Great(est) Justice

Ann Althouse heaps scorn on some dude for calling John Paul Stevens the greatest SCOTUS Justice.

Yeah, whatever. If I defined blogging to only include guys named "Borepatch", I'd be, like the GREATEST BLOGGER EVAR!!!!1!!one! Althouse brings the snark:
Once Sloan gets to identifying and excluding the the competition for greatest Justice, the argument falls badly apart. He has to really strain to minimize Brandeis, Holmes, Brennan, Story, and the first Justice Harlan. He lost me here, but you've got to give Sloan credit for writing what would be a strong entry in a competition requiring an essay titled "Justice John Paul Stevens is the greatest Justice in Supreme Court history."
But mostly, I just wanted the title for this post. Backstory here for the two people who hadn't heard it.
