I think when someone dies, unless it is someone devoid of any redeeming humanity, eg Castro or Arafat, the polite thing is to offer praise. If you can't do that best to keep your mouth shut, although in Souter's case, in context, he has a duty to history and the public to make a comment. And he did. Classless.
Speaking of which, what do you think about Dersh-bag calling Rehnquist a "thug" within hours of his death? Classy?
