[edit] McReynolds' unpleasantness

I have added more instances of McReynolds rude behavior to some of his Court brethren, as well as a comment by Taft on his general unpleasantness. I got this information from Henry J. Abraham's "Justices, Presidents, and Senators: A History of the U.S. Supreme Court Appointments from Washington to Clinton", New and Revised Edition, Rowman & LIttlefield, 1999. If people think this is somewhat excessive, feel free to trim. Magidin 01:25, September 13, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Term of office

According to this reference (PDF) from the official website of the Supreme Court, McReynolds started his term of office on October 12, 1914. I will be changing the text to match shortly.
