SUPREME COURT RETIREMENT: Justice Stephen Breyer, who has been a consistent liberal voice on the Supreme Court for nearly 3 decades, notifies White House of his plan to retire as of Thursday
There are two big cases awaiting resolution concerning the environment and immigration.
A consistent liberal vote on the Supreme Court with an unflappable belief in the US system of government and a pragmatic view of the law, Breyer has sought to focus the law on how it could work for the average citizen. He was no firebrand and was quick to say that the Supreme Court couldn't solve all of society's problems. He often stressed that the court shouldn't be seen as part of the political branches but recognized that certain opinions could be unpopular.
