WASHINGTON — Retired Supreme Court Associate Justice David Souter, an appointee of former President George H.W. Bush who became a reliable liberal vote over the course of his nearly 20 years on the bench, has died. He was 85.
The New Hampshire resident “died peacefully yesterday at home,” the Supreme Court noted in a Friday press release.
“Justice David Souter served our Court with great distinction for nearly twenty years. He brought uncommon wisdom and kindness to a lifetime of public service,” said Chief Justice John Roberts in a statement.
