Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer hasn’t decided when he will retire from the bench, he told CNN in an interview. The 27-year veteran of the high court also said he feels especially gratified with his role as the senior liberal on the bench. Replacing Breyer with another liberal might not change the makeup of the court, but it would preserve the status quo. The Supreme Court currently has six conservative justices to three liberal ones. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said in June that it’s “highly unlikely” that he would allow Biden to fill a Supreme Court vacancy in 2024 if Republicans regain the Senate.
