Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.
There is nothing precluding the award of the Medal of Freedom to a sitting SCOTUS justice. However, precedent is against the idea. Of the eight previously so honored all were off the bench before the award was conferred.
That's what I thought - though it would be a nice gesture.
