No More Souters
The New Yorker Radio Hour 
About this episode
<p><span>David Souter is one of the most private, low-profile Justices ever to have served on the Supreme Court. He rarely gave interviews or speeches. Yet his tenure was anything but low profile. Deemed a “home run” nominee by the George H. W. Bush Administration, Souter refused to answer questions during his confirmation hearing about pressing issues—most critically, about abortion rights and Roe v. Wade, which Republicans were seeking to overturn. He was confirmed overwhelmingly. Then, in Planned Parenthood v. Casey and other decisions, he defied the expectations of the Party that had nominated him. Why? This episode, produced by WNYC Studios’ “More Perfect” and hosted by Julia Longoria, explains how “No More Souters” became a rallying cry for Republicans and how Souter’s tenure on the bench inspired a backlash that would change the Court forever.</span></p> <p><span>You can listen to more episodes of “More Perfect” </span><a href="https://link.chtbl.com/mrUQogCI?sid=nyrh"><span>here</span></a><span>. </span></p><br/> <p>Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
