President Joe Biden hailed Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer’s service to the country as the eldest Supreme Court Justice announced his retirement from the court and pledged to name someone worthy of his legacy.
The president said he knew Mr Breyer going back to when the future justice worked on the Senate Judiciary Committee when Mr Biden was a young Senator on the committee that he would later be chairman of.
“I’m here today to express the nation’s gratitude to Justice Stephen Breyer for his remarkable career in public service and his clear-eyed commitment to making our country’s laws work for its people,” he said.
