Stephen Breyer
Stephen Breyer is a former Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, having served from 1994 until his retirement in 2022. Appointed by President Bill Clinton, Breyer was known for his pragmatic approach to the law, often advocating for a balanced interpretation of the Constitution that considered the real-world implications of judicial decisions. Throughout his tenure, he emphasized the importance of consensus and compromise in the Court, and he was a prominent voice in favor of civil rights, healthcare, and environmental protections.
