Appointed by President George H. W. Bush in nineteen ninety, former US Supreme Court Justice David Souter has died at the age of eighty five. He was a Harvard grad born in Melrose. He was a judicial moderate and advocate for humanities. This was a speech at U and H back in twenty thirteen.
The realization that the Supreme Court comes from the people is part of its legitimacy.
So God bless the diverse city.
On the Supreme Court.
David Suitor would move to New Hampshire. He absolutely loved it there. He retired from the Supreme Court in two thousand and nine. Then President Barack Obama said this about Suitor.
He came to the bench with no particular ideology. He never sought to promote a political agenda, and he consistently defied labels and rejected absolutes, focusing instead on just one task, reaching a just result in the case that was before him.

Newly elected Pope Leo the fourteenth is celebrating his first Mass at the Sistine Chapel today. Meanwhile, the Pope's older brother, John Prevost tells ABC News he believes the Pope will share the values of his predecessor.
He's going to fall in Pope Francis's Footsteff, because he knows there are the down trot. If he knows there are the poor, he knows there are disenfranchise, the people who don't have a voice, and so I think he will be looking out for that because that's where he spent so many years with those people who he worked with and knows what their needs may be and maybe he can do something to help them.
In his first homily, Leo urged cardinals to make themselves small. We could hear today if a federal judge will grant bail for Tuff's grad student, Remesa Osterk Ostark, held in custody in Louisiana ever since her March arrest in Somerville after her student visa was revoked. Her attorneys are arguing that the arrest was in retaliation for co authoring an op ed critical of Israel, and they claim it violates her free speech and due process rights. So far, she
has not been charged with a crime. Osterrik appearing remotely this morning at the hearing in Vermont where US District Judge William Sessions is considering her bail request. Ostrik's lawyers say her health is at risk due to asthma attacks. And now let's check the weather. The four d awbz ACU weather forecast, there is a flood watch for areas west of four nine five in effect until eight am tomorrow. That's because there's going to be some wides spread rain
in the area. You could expect some ponding on roadways for the evening commute, so factor that in give yourself a little extra time. Otherwise, it's going to be cloudy and breezy temps not far from fifty, falling into the fifties on the cape in the Islands. Tonight, more rain, at times heavy, a thunderstorm in spots. Again watch for flooding overnight lows forty seven, and then, as we have been doing for the past, can't keep count eight or
nine weekends. We're starting off with occasional rain on Saturday morning, but the difference here is clouds will break for some late day sunshine. It's going to be breezy much of the day highs sixty two. And then on Sunday it looks like it looks like mother Nature is going to cooperate for Mother's Day sunshine, breezy and a pleasant high around seventy degrees. As we head back to work on Monday, we warm up even more to seventy four, sunny skies
and a breeze. The problem right now is, looking at the radar map, is all of western Mass and parts of central Mass are seeing widespread rain at the moment. Many other areas along the coast east coast are seeing a thick fog and clouds. In the city right now, it's foggy, cloudy and forty nine degrees. It's eleven oh five. All right, what's it like rolling through town with a
traveling carnival. Well, Our WBC's Jim McKay is asking that question in Kingston, thank Ing and Gypsy basically by Here on Wheel.

That it could be hard finding mom the right.
Gift am I the only one that got MoMA pressent.
But a gift doesn't have to be physical. It could be time to themselves, a chance to clock out from motherly duties.
Absolutely, yeah, I think right now that's the best thing that I can give her. We got two under four right now and then we're expecting it a third in about two weeks. So as much free time as I can give her is going to be the best for her.
And sometimes it's leaving everything behind for the weekend as a family. We got an AIRB and B, then we're gonna have a big spread. It simply like a weekend long deals. It would be a good time. No matter the gift, it's usually the thought that counts. James Rojas WBZ, Boston's news radio.
