Former Justice Souter, Republican Turned Liberal Icon, Dies
Retired Supreme Court Justice David Souter, a New Hampshire Republican appointed by President George H.W. Bush, passed away at 85. Initially viewed as a conservative, Souter became known for his liberal stances on key issues, including abortion rights and church-state separation, often dissenting from conservative colleagues. His unexpected liberal leanings surprised many, including those who initially opposed his nomination. Following his retirement in 2009, Souter remained active in promoting civics education and advocating for a strong understanding of American government.
