Comments Souter made about the importance of civic education in 2012 gained some attention again in 2016. Possibly warrants a short mention in the article. [1] -- Knope7 ( talk • contribs) 04:39, 31 December 2016 (UTC)

I am not so in us politics but i am very surprised about the date he gone?? was his party not very very angry about this? they lost one seat for more or less no reason? special if he thought about going out long before? sounds to me for a absolut no go to lose a seat in suprem court for such a small reason like "he did not want to leave 2 persons same year".

Currently listed: Only two cases, one of which he was in the minority, and the other a divided majority/group opinion. These are also both hot-button political issues. There must be a broader selection of notable decisions by David Souter? 2601:181:C381:6C80:511F:6DDA:9A68:A008 ( talk) 03:16, 9 December 2020 (UTC)
@ Steve Lux, Jr.: In here you reverted my recent edit, noting "not necessary to report on something that did not occur." That's a true statement, but the test is not necessity but rather appropriateness. Here, it's appropriate to explain that the most recent year is not consistent with the general trend (for reasons of recency bias, and that trends end by ending), and there is also reason to think Souter may no longer be sitting on cases ("retired Justice David H. Souter did not hire a clerk for OT 2020 — and presumably won’t be hiring clerks for future terms as well." https://abovethelaw.com/2020/07/supreme-court-clerk-hiring-watch-a-term-like-no-other/). For those reasons, I'll restore the the language noting his lack of 2021 panels absent compelling justification. jhawkinson ( talk) 18:09, 29 June 2021 (UTC)
Also: it's clearly incorrect to have reverted the {{Update after|2021|03|...}} which leaves the article claiming it needs an update. jhawkinson ( talk) 18:22, 29 June 2021 (UTC)
