Ans is E for using 'than those of any other justice'. We require those to compare with decisions of any other Justice and any other to exclude the compared entity with others. if we simply say "any justice", then it will include the decisions of the Justice Marshall himself. which will then become a self-comparison.

Three check-points for this question:
1. Since we have "greater" in question, we want "than" not "as" : D is incorrect
2. "Decisions" should be compared with "decisions", not people: Thus, A and B are incorrect
3. While comparing decisions of x should be compared with anything except x. Thus, C is also incorrect.
Thereby, E is correct
