Three quotes from Supreme Court justices. I think they are all very obnoxious for various reasons. Some personal attacks; some ugly vindictive; some FAVORABLE invocation of Nazi stuff. Rank them in order of badness as you see it. Bonus if you can guess which ones belong to which Justices.
1. "None of these remarkable conclusions should come as a surprise. What is before us, after all, is a speech regulation directed against the opponents of abortion, and it therefore enjoys the benefit of the "ad hoc nullification machine" that the Court has set in motion to push aside whatever doctrines of constitutional law stand in the way of that highly favored practice"
2. "The Court has mistaken a Kulturkampf for a fit of spite"
3. "The Supreme Court of the United States has descended from the disciplined legal reasoning of John Marshall and Joseph Story to the mystical aphorisms of the fortune cookie."
