I get it Glenn- the reactions to the Justice are in many respects unfair and even racist to a point. I don’t agree with him at all on most issues and find his personal behavior to be marginal in its respect for the Court, but ridicule is not a mature adult response to his life and record. Naming stuff after him is a bridge too far. It’s not exactly a participation trophy at the the level of the Court, but saying he should be rewarded for 30 years of yeoman like service is not, in my opinion, appropriate. He is a positive role model for many, and especially for black men of all ages for his rising to the level he has. That’s it.
