    BREAKING: Former Supreme Court Justice David Souter Dies

    Supreme Court Justice David Souter, 86, passed ahead on Thursday. In a media release released on Friday night, the Supreme Court revealed that Souter “died happily yesterday at home in New Hampshire.” &nbsp,

    Justice David Souter served our Court with great variation for almost 20 years, according to Chief Justice John G. Roberts in a statement. He “made a lifetime of government services service with unmatched wisdom and kindness.” He continued to give significant assistance to our branch by serving constantly on the First Circuit’s Court of Appeals for more than ten years after leaving his beloved New Hampshire in 2009. He may become significantly missed.

    Souter was born on September 17, 1939, in Melrose, Massachusetts. He graduated from both Harvard and Oxford before beginning his constitutional profession as a Rhodes Scholar. Before being appointed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit in 1990, he served as New Hampshire’s attorney general and held criminal opportunities on the country’s Superior and Supreme Courts. &nbsp,

    President George H. W. Bush appointed Souter to the Supreme Court in 1990, and he served there for more than 19 times before retiring in 2009. His reputation serves as a warning to Republican presidents about the long-term effects of Supreme Court appointments, which eventually disappointed some conservatives. He supported racial actions during his confirmation hearings, which surprised a lot of liberals. It served as a pretext for what kind of righteousness he may bring. &nbsp,

    He often voted with the liberal justices on contentious issues like prayer in schools, affirmative actions, and pregnancy. His decision in Planned Parenthood v. Casey helped to preserve Roe v. Wade, much to the chagrin of pro-life activists who had hoped his nomination may help overturn the contentious decision.

    His most contentious opinion was released in 1992, jointly authored by Justices Sandra DayO’Connor and Anthony Kennedy, which established a “undue problem” standard for determining whether a state’s limits on the process apply.

    In Planned Parenthood v. Casey, the three justices wrote that” to overturn under flames, in the presence of the most compelling reason to re-examine a boundary selection, would undermine the Court’s legitimacy beyond any major question.”

    Souter’s supporters have much longer denied that he was a secret liberal, citing both his respect for precedent and the importance of “originalism,” which emphasizes the historical significance of constitutional clauses and federal laws.

    Ernest Young, a former Souter’s and Duke law doctor, told ABC News in 2009 that the classic definition of orthodoxy was reluctance to acknowledge radical change.

    Souter, an Episcopalian, was also known for advocating tight government independence in regard to church and constantly opposing religious shows in public spaces.

    In Bush v. Gore, Souter apparently became so upset that he considered quitting. He also reportedly aligned with the Court’s placed aircraft. He resigned from his position in 2005 when a questionable decision expanded the government’s authority to seize personal property, causing unrest and even a failed attempt to seize his own home in protest. He left in 2009, and Sonia Sotomayor was nominated by President Barack Obama to achieve him.
