Home of Supreme Court Justice Gabriel Duvall, who owned slaves but often was inclined towards abolitionist ideals. Duvall has also been called “the most insignificant” justice in the history of the U.S. Supreme Court. Duvall has been the subject of much academic interest, most notably a debate between University of Chicago Law Professors David P. Currie and (now-Judge) Frank H. Easterbrook in 1983. Currie argued that “impartial examination of Duvall’s performance reveals to even the uninitiated observer that he achieved an enviable standard of insignificance against which all other justices must be measured.” Easterbrook responded that Currie’s analysis lacked “serious consideration of candidates so shrouded in obscurity that they escaped proper attention even in a contest of insignificance,” and concluded that Duvall’s colleague, Justice Thomas Todd, was even more insignificant. Perhaps this pointless prize should be called the Duvall Prize.Participant[ATTACH=CONFIG]27760[/ATTACH]

I have no more socks to give. But, my small, rag-tag sock army stands toe-to-toe always at the ready to defend their sovereign tootsies; knitted together in a united effort to defeat the cold, the damp, the heat and the stink.Participant[ATTACH=CONFIG]27656[/ATTACH]

Bowie Railroad Museum. The station remained a busy stop until 1989. The city moved it to its current location when it was restored.Participant[ATTACH=CONFIG]27606[/ATTACH]
