Worse, I googled Justice Souter yesterday to see what he's up to in his post-Supreme Court years. He retired from SCOTUS in 2009 and is now 80 years old, but he has NOT assumed "Senior Status" on the federal bench, which means this commie STILL presides over various federal cases before the bench. He retains his position as a judge in First Circuit Court of Appeals (New England region of the federal courts), and can hear cases "by designation" at the circuit court level. So basically he serves as a substitute judge and "fills in" for the younger regular judges from time to time, usually in Feb. and March of each year.

So yes, that liberal activist is STILL establishing new federal "precedents", even today.

Souter, the gift that keeps on giving.

WTF? I never heard of this Judge “by designation” thing.
