Former President Obama on the death of Justice John Paul Stevens.
"A decorated World War II Naval Officer, Justice Stevens was known for his humility, legal acumen and affection for his beloved Chicago Cubs," the statement said."His work over the course of nearly 35 years on the Supreme Court will continue to shape the legal framework of our Nation for years to come. His passion for the law and for our country will not soon be forgotten."
Stevens was"a true champion of the law, of decency, and of equal justice for all," Leahy said."He is already sorely missed. I'll miss my conversations with him and all I learned from him." Stevens, a registered Republican earlier in his life, declined to discuss his politics once he reached the court.
