Former Justice Stephen Breyer Advocates for Supreme Court Term and Age Limits

Breyer argues that implementing term and age limits for Supreme Court justices would not be harmful and could improve retirement decisions.

Former Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer expressed support for age and term limits on justices, suggesting it would facilitate better retirement decisions.
Breyer, who retired in 2022, criticized the current lifetime appointment system, advocating for long terms to prevent justices from worrying about future employment.
The retired justice reflected on the conservative majority's impact, particularly the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization decision that overturned Roe v. Wade.
Breyer's comments come amid concerns over the health and potential retirement of current justices, highlighting the importance of timely transitions.
Breyer also criticized the court's increasing reliance on originalist interpretations, advocating for a pragmatic approach to constitutional interpretation.
