PUZZLE #311: 5-Star Stumper 5

PUZZLE #311
5-STAR STUMPER 5

The answer to each numbered pair of clues goes in the 10 spaces surrounding each correspondingly numbered star in the grid. The first answer of each set starts in the appropriately numbered space (with the arrow in the same space telling you which direction to go), and the second answer follows immediately after. Meanwhile, the answers that go in the red stripe surrounding the grid are clued in order, and even though it's up to you to determine where the chain of answers begins, we can tell you that the red stripe's answers go clockwise.

Once the entire grid has been filled in, reading the white spaces from left to right and top to bottom will reveal this week's FINAL ANSWER: A former Supreme Court justice


STARS
1) Horatio known for his "rags-to-riches" stories
    "_____ Right Along" (song from The Muppet Movie)
2) Angry argument
    R&B singer whose 2000 album Fear of Flying went platinum
3) The Loud House character who often has sunglasses on her head (anagram of NEIL)
    Tilex target
4) Oysters' outputs
    Use a scythe in a wheat field, say
5) Only zodiac sign depicting an inanimate object
    Setting for much of The Shining

RED STRIPE
• "Useless goddess" from KonoSuba (EASIER CLUE: Blue-green color)
• Pop up again
• Sent an invoice to
• Situated at a sensory threshold
• Like hands in desperate need of hand sanitizer, perhaps

Once you think you know what the FINAL ANSWER is, send it to either redhead64@chartermi.net or itsredhead64@gmail.com (though I'm more likely to check the second one) and I'll put your name on a solvers list once I post the answers in about two weeks. You can also use those email addresses to give me some comments and feedback (or get a hint from me in exchange for a "hint star", more details for that are on the sidebar to the right) or send me the answer to last week's puzzle, if you haven't already figured it out. If you have a printer and want to solve this puzzle on paper, just head below the break for a link to a .PDF version which you can print out!
