How Biden could pull the Supreme Court more to the left with Breyer replacement pick
Despite filling spot of another liberal, Breyer's replacement could be start of leftward shift
By Ronn Blitzer | Fox News
Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer’s retirement comes at a time when a President Biden- and Democrat-controlled Senate will be able to replace him with another liberal jurist, but while this may seem like simply maintaining the court’s status quo, it could end up having a more far-reaching impact on the court for years to come.
While Breyer was by no means a swing vote on the court, his pragmatic approach to the law at times resulted in him siding with conservative colleagues in cases where other liberal justices might disagree.
For instance, Breyer sided with conservatives in a 2005 case involving the display of the Ten Commandments in a public park. While he had opposed such displays in other cases, Breyer distinguished this case from the others by noting that in this case the installation had been present for decades without controversy until the case had been brought. He also noted that in this situation the display had "not simply a religious message, but a secular message as well."
