More follows on the link.

I wonder what the story is with Souter.

[Texas_Jarhead]

Perhaps he was brought up not to speak ill of the dead so he's just keepin his mouth shut.

[patriciaruth]

Does anyone know if Souter is gay?

[RWR8189]

Maybe he's biding his time so his letter of resignation does not take away from discussion of Rehquist's legacy?

Hey...a fella can dream...

[dmw]

He's worried about his house being taken from him (eminent domain).

[Lancey Howard]

I am pretty sure that I would not get along with a weasel like Souter either.

[freekitty]

The reason may be innocent.

[quantim]

I wonder what the story is with Souter.

Maybe his latest PSA is positive and he's thinking for the first time in his life.

Justice ASHCROFT.... pleeeeease.

[nicmarlo]

The Supreme Court released statements by seven Supreme Court justices who paid tribute to Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist, who died Saturday. A statement from Justice David Souter is not expected, the court said.

fyi ping.

[CalRepublican]

That's truly bizzarre, especially since this obviously transcends politics.

I hadn't hear that there was anything personal between the two. But Souter is a very unusual and private guy.

He's also no good as a judge, btw.

[cynicom]

Chief Justice Hughes is the man that forced Justice Owen Roberts to switch from Conservative to left winger and support FDR in his bid for socialism. Hughes was a weak man.

[stylin19a]

Maybe he's still writing the dissent.

[Jim_Curtis]

Maybe Souter is dying and it would be weird for him to make a statement about this.

[JLS]

I suspect maybe Justice Renquist often expressed his disapproval of Souter lying his way on the court. Or maybe Renquist froze Souter out of decisions he wished to write because of his lying his way onto the court.

[Semper Paratus]

He may be following the old bromideL

"If you don't have anything nice to say then don't say anything".

[Prost1]

Talking to his lawyers about saving his property.

[ConorMacNessa]

Rehnquist was a normative presence, something totally out of place in the peculiar cosmos of Souter, J.

I heard that the Chief's funeral is being held in St. Matthew's. All the MSM will report is that he's being laid in state at the S.C. If he were up for confirmation now, I guess his religion would be a big issue.

[HoustonCurmudgeon]

Souter has been mad since Justice Rehnquist kicked his rear in the 1998 All Court Greco Roman Wrestling Match.

[AwesomePossum]

Souter vs Rehnquist...........I think it all stems from a property rights joke that Rehnquist related to Souter.........ha

[Ursus arctos horribilis]

He must have consulted with Dershiwitch. (misspell intended)
