Can You Name the 9 US Supreme Court Justices?

[via MetaFilter] According to a recent survey of “a representative sample of 1000 adults nationwide [America]”, two-thirds couldn’t name any of the justices of the US Supreme Court.

I wonder how many of the same people surveyed can name any winners of the Survivor reality TV series.

(I’m not American, and I can name two-thirds of the Justices.)

  • Ugh, I sure can't name them all.

    Clarence Thomas

    Anthony Scalia

    William Renquist

    Sandra Day O'Connor (she's still on, right?)

    Ruth Bader Ginsberg

    - Souter

    p.s. I'm a US-ian.

  • That is partially by the Supreme Court Judge's intent. They are the only branch of government who can walk the street unrecognized. They were the last branch to have an official website too.

  • I'm not from USA, I'm from South America, but I can name the nine Justices:

    Chief Justice John G. Roberts, Jr.
    Justice John Paul Stevens
    Justice Antonin Scalia
    Justice Anthony Kennedy
    Justice David H. Souter
    Justice Stephen Breyer
    Justice Clarence Thomas
    Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg
    Justice Samuel A. Alito, Jr.
