I appreciate Justice Breyer's candor. A trait I admire is he is not afraid to say "I'm not going to answer that question," rather than dissemble and lie. I wish he hadn't retired - he's sharp as a tack, and possesses wisdom the current Court seems to lack.
-
Don't waste time trying to overturn Dobbs. Just codify abortion.
-
“the only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing”
-
Brilliant people such as myself have been saying for twenty years that the overturning of Roe v. Wade would be a disaster for the GOP. How right we were!
-
Welker asked the right questions. She’s just not clever enough to ask them in a way that she got more insightful answers. If she asked questions that didn’t cover current cases in front of the court, Breyer gave very interesting answers. Ask the same topic but use past cases or hypothetical ones. Even then, Breyer is no dummy and will be careful in his answers.
-
Textualism and Originalism treat the Constitution as essentially a historical, dead document. I believe the Framers meant it to be a dynamic, living document that will adapt as knowledge increases.
-
What a tremendous interview! We lost much when he retired from SCOTUS. A truly thoughtful jurist.
-
Justice Breyer is clearly top notch.
-
Smart man, we need more judges like him, at all levels of the judiciary
-
Unfortunate he does not want to comment on how corrupt the court system has become.
-
Every time I hear Justice Breyer refuse to comment, I ponder if RBG was around and how different her response would be.
-
Not giving his opinion on these questions is the fine point of professionalism.
-
Sandra Day O'Connor also stated after her retirement from SCOTUS that the Supreme Court should not have accepted the Gore v. Bush/2000 Election
-
I am fed up with the supreme court.
-
Didn't more than half the country think Bush v Gore was wrong?
-
Seems quite disingenuous of Mr. Breyer to say that like his wife, Ginni Thomas is an independent woman, as if Clarence doesn't know everything she did to plan and try to execute the insurrection. He really isn't giving much hope when he thinks that SCOTUS is doing the people's work - NOT
-
Remember: Trump called Nikki Haley a “birdbrain whose voters have no place in Trump’s MAGA party!” 🥵
-
I felt like Welker’s questions were a little too direct and obvious at times here. This represents a missed opportunity, given how rare it is to have such a large amount of time with a SC Justice.
-
Justice Breyer could do more service for the country speaking out rather than protecting the corrupt court with silence.
-
I loved listening to Justice Breyer he's great & missed on the Supreme Court
