From The New York Times "room for debate section." "Beyond that, I believe that Justice Souter will be remembered as a careful, thoughtful, and open-minded judge. He was conservative in the sense that he respected precedent and did not seek drastic change, but he was liberal in that he saw a role for judges in protecting individual rights against arbitrary or oppressive government action.
