Retired Justice John Paul Stevens, nominated to the Supreme Court by President Ford in 1975 in the wake of Watergate, has died at 99
Stevens, known as a soft spoken midwesterner with a searing intellect, died on Tuesday of complications following a stroke he suffered on July 15, according to a statement from the Supreme Court. He passed away peacefully at Holy Cross Hospital in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, with his daughters by his side, the court said.Stevens was born in the South Side of Chicago in 1920 and graduated from the University of Chicago in 1941, and Northwestern Law School in 1947.
"Although we may never know with complete certainty the identity of the winner of this year's Presidential election," Stevens wrote,"the identity of the loser is perfectly clear. It is the Nation's confidence in the judge as an impartial guardian of the rule of law." In a case concerning detainees at Guantanamo Bay in 2004, Stevens wrote the majority opinion holding that detainees could challenge their detainment in federal court.
