Justice Breyer set to retire from Supreme Court on Thursday
Justice Stephen Breyer on Wednesday said that his previously announced retirement from the Supreme Court would take effect at noon the following day, capping off a 28-year career on the bench that concluded with a tumultuous court term dominated by the court’s six-member supermajority.
The announcement by the Breyer, 83, came in a letter to President Biden.
“It has been my great honor to participate as a judge in the effort to maintain our Constitution and the rule of law,” he wrote.
