Justice Stephen Breyer to retire from Supreme Court – By Robert Barnes (The Washington Post) / January 26, 2022
Justice Stephen G. Breyer will retire at the end of the current Supreme Court term, according to a person familiar with his plans, giving President Biden the chance to make his mark on the Supreme Court by nominating the first African-American female justice and reinforcing the court’s liberal minority.
Breyer, 83, is the court’s oldest justice, and he has been under unprecedented pressure to retire while Democrats have narrow control of the Senate, which must confirm Supreme Court nominees. The current term concludes at the end of June.
NBC News and CNN first reported the development, which had been expected.
