David NathansonI’ve got four things I want to say about David Souter. <a href="https://esq.social/tags/DavidSouter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DavidSouter</a> First, my spouse and I officially became a couple while protesting his nomination.Second, I argued twice before him (SCOTUS once, once as Senior Circuit Judge). At SCOTUS he was totally practical and got it and gave me a great softball question to make his point through me to Ginsburg (I think). Fortunately, I recognized the softball and cooperated. He voted in the majority. We won 5-4. 🧵

Nonilex…the most dramatic 1993-94 evidence of <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/DavidSouter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DavidSouter</a>'s increasingly influential intellectual leadership of the Court's 6 mainstream members was the growing number of combative references that <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/AntoninScalia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AntoninScalia</a> was directing to him in multiple opinions. <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/SCOTUS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SCOTUS</a> insiders emphasize that in person, the 2 justices "like each other,” …but based upon the written record, there is little doubt that Scalia now realizes…that he has decisively lost the struggle for <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/intellectual" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#intellectual</a> leadership of the Court….<a href="https://masto.ai/tags/law" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#law</a>

NonilexBut in the following year, as Kennedy reverted to greater agreement w/the Chief Justice, <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/Souter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Souter</a> found himself on the minority side of far more split decisions.…The 1992-93 decline of the Souter-O'Connor-Kennedy trio led some observers to highlight how Kennedy had moved back rightward, but Paul Barrett of WSJ contended that actually the "most striking development" was Souter's "emerging <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/liberal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#liberal</a> streak."<a href="https://masto.ai/tags/DavidSouter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DavidSouter</a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/SCOTUS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SCOTUS</a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/law" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#law</a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/judiciary" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#judiciary</a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/JudicialIndependence" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#JudicialIndependence</a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/ethics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ethics</a>

Nonilex…[A] close friend, echoing how Casey "wasn't a surprise," especially given "David's respect for <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/precedent" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#precedent</a>," stressed that people did not appreciate how "David's a <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/judicial" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#judicial</a> conservative, NOT a <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/political" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#political</a> conservative.”…Neither the 1992-93 or 1993-94 terms would prove as significant as 1991-92. The most striking statistic of 1991-92, as Casey exemplified, was the degree to which Anthony Kennedy had shifted away from Rehnquist & toward <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/Souter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Souter</a> & O'Connor.<a href="https://masto.ai/tags/DavidSouter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DavidSouter</a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/SCOTUS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SCOTUS</a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/law" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#law</a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/judiciary" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#judiciary</a>

Nonilex…Casey was the most important case of the 1991-92 term, but there were other impressive Souter successes.
