Unless someone can tell me the importance of memorizing judges' names.

If a person follows the news to a reasonable degree, they should know at least some of the judge's names as a matter of course. If they don't know, that means they are not paying attention and if they are not paying attention...we get the kind of politicians we have today. Not knowing the three branches of government....there is no excuse for that.

I've forgotten the name of the one confirmed before Alito. My bad. I watched it back to the woman who stepped down...what was her name again?

Judges don't really get mentioned that often other than the Cheif Justice. Meanwhile the Dwarfs are a big part of pop culture. Also the Dwarfs have been around a lot longer, 3 generations of people have been raised on that era of Disney movie, then various other entertainments that reference it (I know the names of the dwarfs because of an old George Carlin routine where he figured out what drugs each was on). Pop culture has a lot of driving momentum to keep it in the public conscious as much as possible, because that's how the owners make money, nobody makes any money keeping SCOTUS in the public conscious.
