Stephen Breyer ‘Sounds an Alarm’ in New Interview on Supreme Court’s Future
Justice Stephen Breyer believes his former colleagues on the Supreme Court are steering the country in the wrong direction, and his forthcoming book, Reading the Constitution: Why I Chose Pragmatism, Not Textualism, is “meant to sound an alarm.”
That’s according to The New York Times, which on Monday published an eye-opening interview with the 85-year-old jurist-turned-Harvard Law professor.
“Something important is going on,” said Breyer, whose book will be released on March 26, the same day the Supreme Court will hear arguments regarding the availability of mifepristone, the so-called abortion pill.
