Stephen Breyer trying to sell decisions based on pure narcissism as a commitment to some higher principle is embarrassing, especially since the "principle" in question is pretty much "the Easter Bunny and tooth fairy are real" lawyersgunsmoneyblog.com/2021/07/jehova… 
"The Supreme Court is an apolitical institution" is the highbrow version of "the NCAA should remain committed to the Noble Ideals of Amateurism"
One thing Breyer's friends should try to make him understand is that if he's replaced by a Republican president he will be remembered for NOTHING else. RBG had real accomplishments that make her legacy complex; Breyer is just a replacement-level Elite Liberal Law Guy
The amazing thing remains that the last three justices nominated by *Republican* presidents who ended up as liberals all retired strategically, and the first one is the reason why Breyer has his job in the first place
