do you believe one of the earliest supreme court justices, who served distinguishedly(sic) for 34 years on the bench

Length of term on the court? So I guess William O. Douglas who served two years longer (36 - the record) is more correct about everything?

Or tenure only counts when you agree with the interpretation..

That is a poorly thought-out statement. If Douglas had served in the earlier days of the nation (like Story) when the court was less corrupted with the precedence of previous courts, then your statement would have some merit.
