Here's what Powe was quoted as saying on a blog: http://roomfordebate.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/05/01/the-judgment-on-justice-souter/#powe
"Everyone will note that he was one of the four members of the liberal bloc and that his replacement will vote as Justice Souter has voted. But he wasn’t always a liberal; indeed, only in the context of the Supreme Court of his era could he be classified as a liberal."
