Souter bids goodbye to court colleagues
Posted: Mon Jun 29, 2009 11:44 am
U.S. Supreme Court Justice David Souter made a habit of avoiding public acclaim during almost two decades in Washington.
For just a few minutes on Monday, he opened up a bit, saying in public how much his life had been enriched by the strong bonds forged with his fellow justices.
Reading aloud from a letter to his colleagues, Souter noted that he will not be sitting with the court again, but neither "will I retire from our friendship, which has held us together despite the pull of the most passionate dissent."
