1 Today’s Quiz: The Rules OK, just to clarify: I will show you each face, but you're also getting additional help in the form of a clue. For each justice, you also get either the President who appointed him/her or the political "team" (liberal, moderate, conservative).

2 You have to give me the last name of each justice. Say Sandra Day O’Connor was still on the court. I’d show her to you, and give you a clue like “appointed by Reagan”. You’d write “O’Connor”. Today’s Quiz: The Rules

3 We’ll start off easy. #0: How many members of the Supreme Court are there? Now, for #1-9, follow along as I show the faces and give the clues. At the very end, I’ll leave all of the faces up on the screen.

4 One initial clue that will help you all: There are three liberals on the Court and two moderates. Only if both moderates rule with the liberals do they “win”. Otherwise, the four conservatives plus x number of moderates get their way. Now we begin for real…

5 Photo C #1: This one’s the Chief Justice. I hope that’s enough, but if not, I’ll remind you that he was appointed by George W. Bush, and is conservative. John Roberts

6 #2: Your clue is that he is one of the conservatives, and George W’s second appointment to the Court. He’s a local boy from Trenton, NJ Photo B Samuel Alito

7 #3: She was appointed by Bill Clinton. She is the second woman ever appointed, and is considered liberal. “Hey, they finally found a decent picture of me!” Ruth Bader Ginsberg

8 #4: He’s the most conservative member of the Court. Reagan appointed him. What’s his name? Antonin Scalia

9 #5: This is President Obama’s first appointment. She is the Court’s first Hispanic, and only the third woman ever appointed. She’s considered liberal. Sonia Sotomayor

10 #6: He was appointed by Ronald Reagan, so you know he’s not a liberal…right? Actually, he’s moderate. Anthony Kennedy

11 #7: This is Clinton’s other appointment, and the remaining liberal. He was Ted Kennedy’s personal attorney at one time. Stephen Breyer

12 #8: Eighty- nine and lively as ever. Appointed by Gerald Ford, he’s the third moderate. John Paul Stevens

13 #9: Appointed by George H.W. Bush (Senior). Conservative. Look, you wouldn’t smile, either, if Breyer kept calling you “Uncle Tom”… Clarence Thomas
