Citations?

There seems to be a dearth of citations in this article. Rather surprising give the subject matter. Why is there no warning as to the lack of citations?Dkelber (talk) 20:27, 5 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Serious gaps in referencing are going to need fixing before this can be posted. -Ad Orientem (talk) 01:19, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

RIP John Paul Stevens

It has come to light he has sadly passed away at age 99. Polar Vader (talk) 03:13, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

was the second-oldest-serving justice in the history of the court

If someone could suggest whom the alternatives are in this reference, << was the second-oldest-serving justice in the history of the court >>, some of us might consider the more complete reference to be more helpful.

Thank You.
