If U.S. Supreme Court Justices Were Rock Stars

The Out of the Jungle blog mentioned this yesterday.

The Balkinization blog has a post entitled If Supreme Court Justices Were Rock Stars that matches judges with the musicians who have the same basic "style" in their opinion writing:

• Sandra Day O'Connor-- Britney Spears. (The early Britney, pre-K-Fed, not the later, trashy Britney.) Artistically incoherent but enormously successful attempts to appeal to the exact center of popular taste.
• William Rehnquist-- David Byrne of Talking Heads, Blondie, Devo. Unsentimental, terse, and cleverly ironic 80's New Wave post-punk. (Psycho-Killer could easily be a Rehnquist opinion except, of course, for the use of French. No foreign sources in our Constitution, thank you.).
• Anthony Kennedy-- Lionel Richie, Barry Manilow. Overly earnest ballads that set your teeth on edge.
• Clarence Thomas-- Prince, Lou Reed. Key aesthetic ideal: I don't give a **** what *you* think. The Justice Formerly Known as Clarence.
• Ruth Bader Ginsberg-- Alanis Morissette. A Jagged Little Constitution.
• Antonin Scalia-- Meat Loaf. Histrionic Opera Rock.
• David Souter-- Paul Simon. Bookish, a little too insular and self-contained. Still crazy after all these years.
• John Paul Stevens-- Willie Nelson. Crusty, independent, been around forever. (But what about his vote in the marijuana case?)
• Stephen Breyer-- Nobody. Stephen Breyer doesn't rock and roll

I wonder who we could up with for the Canadian Supreme Court.

Somebody else out there can go first with their suggestions...

There is one judge who reminds me of Eric Clapton, but I won't say who...
