Why do you say that?
His entire judicial career? The current Supreme Court didn't come out of nowhere.

Its fair to disagree with his politics, but by all accounts he was well liked and respected by his colleagues on both sides of the aisle.
And when he was elevated to Chief Justice the increase in support for him from Democrats (compared to his Associate Justice hearings) is evidence that he won people over.
Its free speech to call someone evil, but for me its reflective of how the extremes on both ends need to vilify those who we disagree with over simply disagreeing with them.
True democracy is co-existing in the marketplace of ideologies and winning over followers with merit not namecalling.

I was wondering if you had anything specific as a reason to call him evil. I certainly disagree with much of his thinking and consider some of his positions morally wrong, but not evil.
And the strain of thinking he was part of wasn't limited to him and the current members of the SC majority would have been that way without him.

Guns in schools and Bush v. Gore stand out to me.
