David Souter's Biography

David Hackett Souter (pronounced /ˈsuːtər/; (born September 17, 1939) served as an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States from 1990 until his retirement on June 29, 2009. Appointed by Republican President George H. W. Bush to fill the seat vacated by William J. Brennan, Jr., Souter was the only Justice with extensive prior court experience outside of a federal appeals court; he had served as a prosecutor, a state's attorney general, and as a judge on state trial and appellate courts. Souter sat on both the Rehnquist and Roberts courts, and was regarded as a liberal by conservatives, however, others felt he did not fit squarely into any ideological camp. Following Souter's retirement announcement, Democratic President Barack Obama nominated Sonia Sotomayor as his successor.
