Extended interview: Retired Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer 

@[LIVE] FOX NEWS | The Five 3/26/2024 PLEASE DO NOT LET JAUN WILLIAMS BACK ON YOUR SHOW. He is NO chief political analyst.

He is deluded about judges being appointed with no regards to political Partys.

"its your world now" at the end there.. who's he kidding?

STATUTES HAVE BEEN BREACKED DENYING THE RULE OF LAW AS IT APPLIES TO CONSTITUTION.

Cases that are very impirtant in terms of jurisorudence have been overturned. Plessy v Ferguson was the precedent that upheld segregation for about 56 years

I wonder what his opinion is about Court Justices accepting lavish gifts from billionaires and don't recuse themselves when ruling on said billionaire's cases?

1:00 would love to see what they cut out of his response here.

Strongly disagree. There are Supreme Court justices who -- at this juncture -- are not forming opinions based on impartial and objective Constitutional law. Maybe that was true while Justice Breyer was on the Court but it certainly isn't now. It is an alarmingly divisive disintegration of the highest Court in the land.

Biased

Timing is the give/away

So we're not a republic. We need no more legislative judges!

Sotomayor warned us . The people didnt understand how slanted any panel of human beings with great power can get.

I cancelled my Doctor's appointments because it hurts too much!

Its True People Value Life For Everybody.

I agree that why America is a number one a round the the world we have good laws, together sticks in constitution ,freedom democracy no bod above the law

Notice he looks away from her when he says “it’s inaccurate that the courts are political” of course they are! Just look at what’s happening right now.

He had a really good discussion with Antonin Scalia about the interpretation of the constitution. Two very different ways to interpret the verbage.

What Democrats did to him is disgusting.

Enjoy retirement, sir!

God bless Justice Breyer.

What the f is this man talking about?

This isn't the same court as in his day. He's delusional.

He says it's simple to say "fish" doesn't mean "flower" but in 2022 a California court, using his method, ruled that bees are fish. Google it, I promise that's real.

I watched the Court rule and say that the person failed to raise an issue on appeal and therefore cannot obtain the outcome that they are seeking. Why does the Court blame the person for their attorney performing ineffectively? How does it further justice to deny based appeal based on an attorneys failure to perform? You are avoiding ruling on the merits of the case and what is just by doing that. In criminals proceedings the courts procedures do not override my right to be free. If a person is incarcerated is known to be innocent and exhausted all procedures then the procedures have bene proven to be unconstitutional. Court procedures do not override my right to liberty. How many ways could that be abused? Defense attorneys could be setting innocent people up simply because they omit some key evidence. All to get a job with the prosecutors office for instance. Right?

This man is wrong, he is SUPPOSED to go BY THE TEXT!! Now, if the text does somehow end up to "fail the test of time", the Founders put in a PROPER FIX for it, it is called, an AMENDMENT!! "activism" is NOT a LEGAL OPTION. Having a "rule book" that can be altered on a whim by a "select few"?? THAT is the REAL DANGER!!! This guy's attitude scares me.. HE HIMSELF seeks to decide how to "change" the Constitution, did he not read, and grasp that this is what PEOPLE choosing to amend it, is for?? I see NO WHERE in the document, where it gives the Sitting Justices such power. WOW!!

Justice Breyer, can you give us your definition of a woman?

At 0:54 when she asked him the question if he liked all the other justices…. You could tell the video had been edited…. Probably at his request.

what a biased interviewer.

Blah blah blah, ive seen him in 3 interviews this week and he has said NOTHING! EXCEPT buy my book

1 minute in, BS.

Not impressed..

She's so wants him to say that conservatives are bad and Liberals are good. Her bias is atrocious

What we should do is change. Where you swear to protect and defend the constitution of the Unitaed States. For all enemies, foreign and abroad. To idiots.

The future dont matter regarding the law, only THE CONSTITUTION MATTERS, Without twisting the Constitution into a pretzle.

I disagree. As a textualist you also take into consideration ALL of the Federalist Papers and the personal letters of the founders discussing the textualism that they intended and that is upheld in our founding documents. We interpret statutes and the Constitution based on all of those things recorded by our founders and this is what the majority of the conservative justices are upholding in their textualist interpretation of the Constitution. It's Justice KJB that isn't interpreting the Constitution in the textualist way based on original interpretation of all information. And the lawmakers in question are not at issue when the outcome and result was remedied and it clearly holds those rights to the STATES and there should be NO FEDERAL law like that on the books. This is returning consistency to the application of our Constitution. The States must set their laws and the feds need to stay out of it. That's not up to the judge that is REQUIRED TO BE CONSTITUTIONAL!

Yeah now free to say a few things, whilst comfortably RETIRED.

Roe and Casey were absolute gong shows of opinions.

Heavily edited

Typical Liberl.

I guarantee he would fight tooth and nail over what a single word means if he was a defendant, glad he thinks its so fluid when it effects someone else. To think that hes actually moderate compared to his liberal successors and failed appointments are so much worse. Garland and KJB are an embarrassment to the court.

What a likable guy. Unfortunately, he is too close to the painting to see the fundamental political calculus in the court. They certainly may, and overwhelmingly likely do, believe what he states, but as people without skin in the game, reputation-wise, we can analyze the court's behavior and see that politics is a mechanism that describes the actions the court takes, has been forever. It's also unfortunate that the interviewer feeds into this narrative, and promulgates it, and teases it out from him. A fact we all need to contend with is that the judicial branch is a political body (not specific to this court), and it would be good to hear the interviewer acknowledge that. Marbury v Madison was political. The four horsemen of the apocalypse stepping down was political. Breyer stepping down when he did was political. And dozens more cases. To be clear, if I'm not mistaken, the vast majority of cases before the supreme court are usually unanimous. And that is relevant, but we are talking about the political questions before the court, which is fundamentally a political body. Consider the fact that in the vast majority of cases in any political body, any congress, even America's, does a myriad of things that are widely supported and unanimous in the body. But it isn't what gets covered, and for good reason. So we can't lose sight of the fact that the court is fundamentally political, and that doesn't equate to being a bad thing. It is what it is.

Interviewer biased and opinionated 😮

You're still far left.

The constitution isn't open to interpretation. It says what it says period.

man sounds like he used to play football with out a helmet

Out to lunch.

Stopped watching as soon as he said "I don't think that's true." ( That the Supremes make their decisions based on politics)

Roe should have never been overturned.

Your freedoms are much more secure in a conservative Court that's a fact

Great interview. A lot of hidden criticism to the current SCOTUS. Brilliant mind

What is a woman?

I am not sure he gives me hope! It’s contradicting and gives no hope at all in justice

Everyone is a GD liar…

This is the 2nd interview with him I have watched. Obviously as a condition to be interviewed he would not be asked about SCOTUS unethical acceptance of bribes, which are clearly influencing justices like insolent Clarence.

You say you want/like democracy? When are you going to do that? We like democracy, we like to vote on things. We elect our President, Vice President, Senators, Congress, Governor, State Senators, State Legislature, Mayors, etc. but not a single person on our Supreme Court has EVER been elected. Our entire history of our Country and not a single one on our Supreme Court has EVER been elected. You say we have a Constitutional Republic? Yes, stupid that's Democracy.

How does the retired Justice feel about Clarence Thomas and his gifts/trips.

Leftists are leftists!

Non political 👍

This dude seems a little bit arrogant and I'm a liberal. Especially while talking about removing the rights of half of the population

Only the conscientious should make laws, and the most conscientious to interpret laws. Whereas everything matters, including public opinion, it is dangerous for judges to focus on public opinion... The so called public opinion by journalists, polls, or politicians can be based on lies, illusions, or sheer cruelty. Good folks use conscience to re-educate public opinion, then the mistaken will learn or learn the hard way. A righteous minority should live, even if it means Noah repeating, and billions or xyz suffer or die... Not one righteous person or Assange should suffer or die due to law or public opinion, if I was a Judge or God... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-PA2eqQ6cbGk.htmlsi=iC3pClKNQWxRlMql

The age of respecting judges with black robes has looooong passed.

Ask him what he thinks of Ginni Thomas

The Judges do decide on politics. He’s lying.

With all due respect, a scene or heard about the bribery of Justice Thomas? Have you seen any of the presentations by Senator Whitehouse? Have you heard the word court capture?

Breyer has the same world view as Garland, Mayorkas, Soro, Fink, Schwab, Schumer, Yellen and Blinken. Go figure 🤔

The civil war!? Trump? Such abstractions! Ya talkin spirituality or cash!? Remember, calif. Senator Zenovich (Cal.) Never answered a quistion, from A ta B and back vaguely! Make ya feel afool and donalds dern confusin. Thank ya! Judge?

If Only we had judges like this nowadays 😢😢

Propaganda riddled woman

Reject the evidence of your eyes and ears is what this mfr saying

This is what pure evil looks like

This dude has something to hide. Sad few years for America

Ayy algorithm...Never show me CBS and their garb. Thanks

Sorry, really hate to disagree, and with respect, this Supreme Court is political in their decision making.

Liberal biased

This man clearly doesn’t understand the current political situation we are currently in, not the way he talks about it! Pre Trump era 🤔 maybe, Post Trump…Absolutely NOt!! This man is delusional!

CBS👎👎👎👎👎👎

Stephen Breyer: "The Constitution is a living document." Nope. Good riddance.

I read in Politico the approval rating of our Supreme Court was 27%. My understanding it's gone down since. No Supreme Court in the history of our Country has ever been so low. I swear, we could take the cases to 3rd graders across the country and they'd do a better job than our current Supreme Court.

Stephen Breyer may be an American hero--he's the only person who gave up his power by choice and turned to making a difference in the country.

"Intenté hacer una donación a Trump... ¡la letra pequeña decía que los dólares se enviarían directamente a E Jean Carroll y al estado de Nueva York!" 😮🥵

SO think we should have 15, 16, 18 judges like the Left want, and it's not political?

And now the Supreme Court Kurt is such a joke and nest of lying horrible people

GEE, I THOUGHT HE WAS DEAD. VOTE TRUMP, MAGA.
