In Most Obvious Interview Ever, Justice Breyer Says He Hasn't Decided Whether To Retire

Seems Justice Breyer is content, for the moment, with his place on the Court.

Above the Law has already reamed Justice Stephen Breyer for staying on the Court in his advanced age despite the Democrat in the White House and in control (tenuous as it may be) of the Senate, but we are resigned to it. (See, resignation isn’t difficult.) So, the latest breathless headlines about the justice aren’t a surprise. But, for the sake of completeness, here they are.

Justice Breyer went on CNN last night and officially said he hasn’t made a decision on retirement. Which is the epitome of an obvious nothingburger. Though he did note he was especially gratified in being the senior liberal on the Court. How nice for him, I guess.

Looks like seeing Amy Coney Barrett in RBG’s seat isn’t as traumatizing for Justice Breyer as it is for some of us.
