Powell remembered for balance on court and battlefield of rights
Former Supreme Court Justice Lewis F Powell died in Richmond Virginia at age after pneumonia. Clinton called him a model of balance and judiciousness as Powell’s career was noted for applying the Constitution and precedent without ideological bias. Powell’s tenure included upholding affirmative action in part while limiting its scope and rejecting a constitutional right to homosexual relations. Funeral arrangements were not set, and flags were ordered to fly at half staff on the day of interment.
