Justice Stevens is the best. He wrote the sole Dissent on Nordlinger v Hahn (a case where we we had a chance to end the nightmare that is Californias Prop 13) referring to long-time California property owners as "Squires" in the process https://www.law.cornell.edu/supct/html/90-1912.ZD.html https://www.law.cornell.edu/supct/html/90-1912.ZD.html
Clarence Thomas OTOH wrote the Concurrence and even refused to sign the Opinion because the court didn't go far enough and overturn a previous ruling from Pennsylvania which would have given property owners even more tax cuts. https://www.nytimes.com/1992/06/19/us/supreme-court-justices-affirm-law-california-restricting-property-tax-increases.html https://www.nytimes.com/1992/06/19/us/supreme-court-justices...
