Re panel #1: An old (6 years?) mnemonic for remembering Supreme Court justices, I think from a Slate podcast:
The conservatives were RATS:RobertsAlitoThomasStevens
The liberals were KGB Spies:KaganGinsbergBreyerSotomeyer
Kennedy was considered neutral… sadly the only one.A good mnemonic. I still remember it obviously.
