Great Americans: Bushrod Washington

Bushrod Washington, nephew of George Washington (you know...President George Washington? As in, the guy who started America?) is known in history as a member of the US Supreme Court, who served for many years alongside Chief Justice John Marshall (the judge about which Andrew Jackson said, "John Marshall has made his decision, now let him enforce it", due to Marshall's ruling that the forced relocation of the Cherokee people was unconstitutional while President Jackson was ideologically committed to this project.)

This is probably all old news. I mean, who doesn't remember learning about Bushrod Washington in fourth grade civics class? Now it's time for some things you probably didn't already know about Bushrod Washington:

1. After John Marshal became the Chief Justice, Bushrod Washington voted in agreement with him on all but three occasions. One of those times was the now infamous Ogden v Saunders case, which had a major effect on early 19th century bankruptcy law. Yeah, it's a big deal.
2. Bushrod Washington actually predicted the development of computer stuff like LINUX and WORLD OF WARCRAFT in this excerpt from his journal: "Forsooth, someday my children's children's children shall scamper about the laureled hills of AZEROTH, in the form of LEVEL 70 ORC MAGES, and then shall they bash-script."
3. Bushrod Washington, were he able to travel to the present and were he able to go to MOE'S SOUTHWEST GRILL, would order the Nachos and would like them.
4. George Washington never chopped down the fabled cherry tree. Guess what. It was Bushrod.
5. If Davidson College does not win tonight, Bushrod Washington will join me in a scream of disappointment...FROM HIS GRAVE!

[edit] I selfishly forgot to note that TIM BOISVERT was the person who taught me about Bushrod Washington. You opened my eyes to a hidden chapter of history Tim...for that I thank you. [/edit]
