Included here are speeches given by eighteen past and present Supreme Court justices including: the first African-American Supreme Court justice, Thurgood Marshall who served from 1967 to 1991, and the first woman justice, Sandra Day O'Connor who sat on the bench from 1981 until her retirement in 2006. In addition to O'Connor there are an additional five women that are featured. All eighteen represent various ideologies and vary from strict Originalists to the Progressive \"Living Document Constitutionalists.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduced by the Speech Resource Company and fully narrated by Robert Wikstrom.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eThurgood Marshall-Awarded Jurist of the 21st Century and Retirement Press Conference-8\/10\/1988 and 6\/28\/1991\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eLewis Powell-Addressing the American Bar Association-8\/7\/1988\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eSandra Day O'Connor-Speech at the National Constitution Ctr-7\/4\/2003\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eWilliam Rehnquist-200th Anniversary of Constitution signing-9\/18\/1987\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eAntonin Scalia-American Enterprise Institute address and Judiciary Committee testimony-2\/21\/2006 and 10\/5\/2011\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnthony Kennedy-Describes the Court in conference and Ninth Circuit District Conference-6\/25\/2009 and 8\/19\/2010\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eDavid Souter-Harvard Commencement address-5\/27\/2010\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eClarence Thomas-Senate Hearings on Sexual Harassment and Hillsdale College Commencement-10\/11\/1991 and 5\/14\/2016\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eRuth Bader Ginsburg-Nomination Speech and Society of Women's Health Research-6\/14\/1993 and 5\/7\/2001\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eStephen Breyer-Announcing Retirement-1\/27\/2022\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eJohn G.
