 The Paperback Museum: The Discreet Charm of David Souter
Souter left little in terms of a paper trail to give conservatives a solid idea of how he would vote on the most important issues for their base.
Souter ended up being a massive disappointment for the Republicans, and he will be perhaps the last justice to make it onto the Court without being subjected to an ideological litmus test (which effectively guarantees that a nominee will vote according to the party -- Republican or Democratic -- line).
Although many Republicans cast Souter's jurisprudence as a "betrayal" of their party, in fact his tenure on the Court can be seen as fitting into the classic New England Republican mold: supporting a robust federal government, keeping church and state issues distinctly separate, and defending individual civil liberties against repressive state measures.
