I don't know too much about specific Supreme Court Justices, and very little about Blackmun, but he seems like a he was a good guy and good judge. I like the fact that he didn't do anything to keep his correspondences secret after his death-seems like he cared about the public and the constitution.

Yeah I heard this on NPR this afternoon... was a bit surprised myself.
The way NPR painted him, I'd have to agree that he seemed to be a fair man, well suited to his station. I will continue, however, to bite my nails on what the current crop may yet hand down.

Bear in mind that Blackmun wrote the prevailing opinion in Roe v. Wade. He's a great man, if you're pro-choice. Otherwise, he's an unholy liberal sign of the apocolypse.
