The Supreme Court and Military Service

| 0 Comments
With the retirement of Justice Stevens, it appears the Court is losing its only member with substantial military service. On the Court's bio page, it says Justice Kennedy was in the National Guard "in 1961." No military service in noted in Justice Alito's bio, but his confirmation questionnaire says he was on active duty for four months. I'd like to see someone who has a few years in uniform on the Court, although I doubt that factor will receive any consideration in the White House.
