McConnell was dishonorable in handling scotus and a dishonorable process can't produce an honorable court.
-
We have a SC w/ three justices that lied under oath. What is more dishonorable than that?
-
trump isn't arguing he's innocent, he's arguing he has the right to be a criminal
-
Listening to him speak reminds me of how far we have fallen.

Breyer is arguing that the tail is wagging the dog. It is precisely the impression that politics, rather than reason and jurisprudence, is driving their rulings that is undercutting their standing in the eyes of the citizenry. They are not making unpopular rulings, they are making blatantly biased political ones.

This felt like a waste of an interview because Justice Breyer kept going in-depth and Blitzer could take that topic deeper, but then he kept moving on to "here's the next point on my predetermined list of things you should talk about" instead of engaging with what he was saying and letting it go where it was going to go. Even while Breyer is talking, I get the sense Blitzer is just thinking about how to go to his next question. The problem with this approach is that the audience is actually listening, not thinking about their own next hot topic, so the effect of a random shift to a new topic every 60 seconds is incoherent. That's my opinion.

Brilliant man with insight and forethought.
-
Masterclass wisdom by Stephen Breyer
-
I could listen to Former Justice Breyer's Legal wisdom for hours. Such intelligent legal mind of reason, integrity, and legal elegance.
-
Not sure why he’s omitting the corruption of Thomas and Alito. That’s why the Supreme Court is disrespected.
-
We certainly have a SCOTUS that no one wants.
-
Miss this type of judge.
-
If Trump is not held accountable, the law of the land no longer applies to anyone.
-
Given his comment about a judge paying attention to the era, not the political temperature, would seem to support the idea of term limits for the Supreme Court. I wonder if he has any thoughts on that.
-
Listening to him makes me feel like I'm in class.

“🎉Because public opinion is one of the things that will lead people to follow the rule law” Brilliant

Another stock market record today and the world's best economy, by far. Thank you President Biden!
-
Justice Breyer was one of my favorite SC Justices.
-
Judges should always follow the rule of law without bias or political affiliation.
-
Justice Breyer is exemplary. Thank you for your service. I want to wish you and your loved ones the best
