Despite the insulting campaign on the left to push him to resign, Breyer has hired four new law clerks. news.bloomberglaw.com/us-law-week/br… Breyer has actually been at the top of his game this year with key decisions. That can make for awkward moments:
...It is certainly true that Breyer could still retire. However, the campaign to push Breyer to retire and to pack the court likely hurt more than helped. The Court itself undermined claims of dysfunctional divisions with a series of nonideological rulings.jonathanturley.org/2021/06/20/e-p…
...For those suggesting Breyer is too old, I believe he is still five years the junior of Ruth Bader Ginsburg. (Few of those calling for him to resign made such calls for RBG to leave the Court)...
... Moreover, his replacement would not shift the balance of the Court. There are no reports that he is intellectually or physically diminished. Indeed, his opinions this term were well-received, including his securing a 7-2 majority in California v. Texas.
