Unlike the other eight he did NOT issue a statement. I cannot comprehend this utter lack of respect for both the person and the Office of Chief Justice.
"...utter lack of respect for both the person and the Office of Chief Justice."
You know, that's the deal. Liberals think everything is about them. Souter probably got his knuckles rapped by the chief and is still wetting the bed at night. So he gets even by snubbing him at death. He is simply incapable of understanding that the office of the Chief Justice of the United States is something to be respectful of, regardless of who sits there at the moment, just like the Presidency, etc. But those conservative virtues are lost on libs like Souter.
