Former Justice Breyer claims colleagues not ‘moved by the temperature of the day’

Former Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer offered his assurance that his former colleagues are not easily “moved” by public opinion.

Breyer appeared on This Week on Sunday to disagree with concerns that the high court has become politicized just as the country has. During his appearance, he quoted Constitutional law professor Paul Freund.
