re: #568 solomonpanting

You’ll notice it was mostly conservative justices who voted in the minority.

Yes. Which was the right thing to do in my opinion. Just points out that Souter was in fact no friend of liberty from time to time. He is known as being “unpredictable.”

I was looking further into his record and the case Planned Parenthood v. Casey illustrates another departure for what would have been “expected” from Justice Souter. (This is not an endorsement or departure on that case on my part.)

I am not comfortable with the Sotomayor choice but that’s out of my hands. She will be 1 of 12 justices and Chief Justice Scalia will remain.
