"Justice John Paul Stevens was a great man and a model jurist: fair, wise, compassionate.
A champion for civil rights, equality, and accountability who devoted his life to the ideal of equal justice under law.
Our judiciary today needs more like him.
He will be sorely missed."
"Son of the greatest generation, Navy code breaker at Pearl Harbor, lifelong Chicago Cubs fan & Shakespeare scholar, John Paul Stevens was the 3rd longest-serving Justice
He was a champion for civil rights, equality, accountability--devoted to the ideal of equal justice under law"
