With Breyer’s retirement, the US Congress has lost its champion at the Supreme Court

Last week, Associate Justice Stephen Breyer announced that he would be retiring from the US Supreme Court after nearly 30 years. Lauren C. Bell writes that while Breyer’s departure is not likely to change the Court’s 6-3 conservative-liberal split, it does mean the Court will be losing its member who is most committed to respecting and deferring to the will of Congress.
