stevens: yes. obama followed what i think is the correct practice in this regard. frank: justice stevens wrote an opinion on a case that is somehow relevant. that was apologetic, bill -- that was the bill clinton versus paula jones case, where your opinion basically said that a sitting president is not immune from any civil prosecution or civil litigation and can be held accountable while serving as president. do you feel the same about a criminal prosecution? should there be immunity from a president participating in that? hon. stevens: the fundamental rule that applies is that no one is above the law. no individual is above the law. i would assume that would apply to federal law in current times. frank: you are not persuaded by the argument that the president's job is so important that to get bogged down in a criminal prosecution would make him not an effective president and that it should wait until he is out of office? hon. stevens: the court faced that squarely, but i think it would be most un

president gerald ford appointed stevens in 1975. stevens would earn the reputation as a moderate but would eventually leave the court's liberal wing voting to limit the use of the death penalty and uphold affirmative action. he once called the right to bear arms a relic of the 18th century saying his experience during a home invasion in the 1930s influenced his thinking on the issue. his 2014 book, "six amendments: how and why we should change the constitution" stirred controversy. stevens told our george stephanopoulos why he believed the second amendment needed to be changed. >> the amendment would merely prevent our humans being made that congress doesn't have the power to do what they think is in the best public interest. >> to be clear if congress passed a national ban on individual gun ownership, that would be constitutional under your amendment. >> i think that's right. >> reporter: a lifelong cubs fan stevens joined the navy in 1941 and served in world war ii as a code breaker. stevens gained the reputation as a brilliant la

at, hold justice stevens' se and justice stevens is quoted as having said, when he spoke in 2016 at the university of miami, thanks to elena, i have never regretted my decision to retire. justice kagan: that's lovely. i'd like to start by talking a little bit about justice stevens. justice kagan: it's a week of mourning. but if it's ever appropriate to say something like, it's also a celebration of a life, i think it would be that too. my gosh, what a life. 99 years old. sharp as a tack. until the day he died. went very peacefully. so we should all have a life like that. he was an extraordinary man,en -- man, an extraordinary justice. to take the extraordinary man part of it first, i don't think that there's a person who has ever met him, you know, every clerk i've ever spoken to, all his colleagues, lawyers who appeared before the court, i mean, everybody uses the same words to describe him, which is kind and humble and respectful of everybody, treated everybody with extraordinary dignity. had so much personal class. and so much kindness. every clerk he had i think would tell you he wa

you argued cases against justice stevens. had the privilege of arguing, i think, over two dozen cases before him, and every single time it was always the same thing. he asked just a couple questions to us. they were always the devastating ones, the ones you really practiced and hoped no justice would ask. and he was just a towering intellect and a prince of a man, just the politeness, the courteousness and the diligence and the nonpartisanship way in which he approached the job. when people think of the rule of law in this country and going back and the phrase in the massachusetts constitution of 1780 that we are a government of laws, not of men, that describes justice stevens. >> and he was a republican, but he did not like what he saw republicans do in recent years. he said the senate absolutely should move on the confirmation of merrick garland in the supreme court in the last year of the obama administration. >> yeah, i mean, it's a striking thing to see the news tonight. justice stevens, the horribly sad news about his p

so this is justice stevens all over. one of justice stevens' personal characteristics, which everybody so admired, is this humility and modesty. that means not thinking that, oh, here i am. i just look at this case differently from the way many, many judges have looked at it in the past, and my opinion is better than theirs and so i'm just going to reverse what they say. it's a sense of, you know what, before -- we had a case this year where people asked us to overrule something that like 40 different justices have looked at and said this is the way the rule should be. there's something maybe a little immodest about saying, not with standing the 40 people have done it this way, i have a better idea of how to do it. so again, it's not that you should never be able to do that, sometimes of course you should, but it should be a high bar. >> so part of it is, if i'm just paraphrasing what i think i'm hearing, part of the rule of law and part of court being understood as apolitical. justice kagan: much more succinctly than i

while it was dick nixon who first made stevens a federal judge, all the credit for all of stevens' accomplishments on the court goes to president gerald r. ford, who was so proud to have appointed him. he was the third longest-serving justice in our nation's history. stevens was born in chicago just after world war i. he was immediately recognized as a brilliant kid and immediately went on to become a brilliant young man. he sailed through the university of chicago, scored the highest gpa in the history of northwestern law school. along the way he found time to go off and serve in world war ii as a code breaker, returning as a decorated navy veteran with a bronze star. he was confirmed by the u.s. senate 98-0 back when they did that kind of thing. he came onto the court as a conservative and was considered a liberal by most people by the time of his retirement. pro abortion rights, pro affirmative action, pro gay rights, anti-death penalty. he insisted he never changed but the court changed around him. he served on that court from 1975 to 2010. considered a prolific dissenter powered by a blazing

that i reflect on with justice stevens. one is, the role of dissent. which i would like to talk about. before we get to that, you know, kind of the normal arc for justice stevens is people talk about him as a very individualistic, brilliant, but writing his own opinions at the start and then in the last decade, becoming the liberal leader of the court. the other is that he's somebody who was -- he changed his mind and was candid about that. that he -- with affirmative action or the death penalty. he shifted his position over time. which brings us to the question of stare decisis. justice kagan: i was justice stevens' successor and he was endless will i kind to me in terms of offering advice, always in a kind of grateful way, not imposing advice but being there if i ever had a questioning -- he shifted his position over time. which brings us to the question of stare decisis. justice kagan: i was justice stevens' successor and he was endless will i kind to me in terms of offering advice, always in a kind of grateful way, not had a question, offering what
