Former President Obama on the death of Justice John Paul Stevens.

"A decorated World War II Naval Officer, Justice Stevens was known for his humility, legal acumen and affection for his beloved Chicago Cubs," the statement said."His work over the course of nearly 35 years on the Supreme Court will continue to shape the legal framework of our Nation for years to come. His passion for the law and for our country will not soon be forgotten."

Stevens was"a true champion of the law, of decency, and of equal justice for all," Leahy said."He is already sorely missed. I'll miss my conversations with him and all I learned from him." Stevens, a registered Republican earlier in his life, declined to discuss his politics once he reached the court.

Also, I wish he'd spent his 90s on the supreme court. RIP This was a man with integrity. He was nominated by two Rs but he was non partisan&followed his own beliefs. I read his book “Five Chiefs” JPS very interesting&informative as was JeffreyToobin “The Nine” couldn’t put them down. Never read a NF book before except Mount Everest books, which are different.
