Retired Supreme Court Justice Breyer takes aim at former colleagues in stunning slam

A complete mediocrity as a justice who never strayed from voting with the SC Democrats.

The only one on the left wing who appeared to be an intellectual was RBG. She was a friend of Scalia and they went on trips together.

He did not name having common sense as a requirement.

Ketanji Brown Jackson does not know what a women is or believes in the 1st Amendment.

Breyer:

Your Last Will and Testament, your history and your original intent, are toast BECAUSE WE SAY SO, and WE should not be required to understand them.

SO WE will decide your will and narrate OUR VERSION of your “intent.”

[Political Junkie Too]

And third, it does not take into account the ways in which our values as a society evolve over time as we learn from the mistakes of our past.

That's what Article V is for.

I guess the process is too cumbersome for Breyer. He'd rather have five black-robed people change the Constitution instead of 359 members of Congress and 38 state legislatures.

“Human nature hasn’t changed one iota in 5000 years.”

That is the secret.

Sociopaths have always sought to rule—and freedom loving individuals have had to resist as best they could.

Breyer is one of the sociopaths.

Clinton appointed the biased loser Breyer... Odd how the press tries to bury that VERY IMPORTANT PIECE OF INFORMATION... maybe it’s because they’re corrupt democrats who hate half the American people too...

He’s exactly the type who should never be a law professor. We have too many like that now.

He’s exactly the type who should never be a law professor. We have too many like that now.

Too many are egotistically attached to their intellect. They constantly want to show everyone how smart they are, and in the process frequently miss that which is obvious to everyone else. The phrase, "educated idiot" comes to mind.

these little gods deciding that one set of people can be discriminated against....

“Major changes take time, and there are many years left for the newly appointed justices to decide whether they want to build the law using only textualism and originalism.”

"Build the law"??? Is this an admission or an assumption of entitlement? What Supreme Law allows a SCOTUS Justice to a legislative function? Did he learn about the Separation of Powers in school?

[PeterPrinciple]

“Build the law”

They need to spend more time with the original source, the Constitution.

Just like Bible, we need to spend more time with the original source.

[rightwingcrazy]

If they’re not originalists, then they’re acting as legislators, a job for which they were not appointed. It’s not complicated. He uses “pragmatism” as a weasel word for judicial arrogance and arrogation of power.

I’d hate to be this guy when standing before Jesus at his particular judgement. He will have much to answer for. Pray that he repents before he dies.
