vcczar Posted Monday at 06:02 PM Share Posted Monday at 06:02 PM Stephen Breyer of CA is up next. I think he followed what I think is the most reasonable route to the SC. He was a Chief Justice of a lower federal court and then elevated to the SC. This should be the norm, I think. His actions: Breyer, Stephen 1990 Made Chief Justice of US Court of Appeals, 1st Circuit by Bush Breyer, Stephen 1993 Considered for SC vacancy that ultimately goes to Ginsberg Breyer, Stephen 1994 Confirmed to the SC for Clinton Breyer, Stephen 2004 Dissent in case arguing that partisan gerrymandering is a justiciable claim Breyer, Stephen 2005 Argues judiciary should seek to resolve issues that encourages popular participation in government decisions Breyer, Stephen 2010 States in interview that Founding Fathers never intended guns to go unregulated Breyer, Stephen 2015 Breaks law that bars justices from hearing case when spouse has financial interest (he ruled against her interest) Breyer, Stephen 2015 Questions constitutionality of Federal Death Penalty in a dissent Breyer, Stephen 2022 Resigns from the SC to make room for a younger liberal justice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pringles Posted Monday at 07:20 PM Share Posted Monday at 07:20 PM Don’t agree with him but I respect him as I do most all Justices and men of law. Same with RBG. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
