46th and current president of the United StatesWASHINGTON — Justice Stephen Breyer's impending retirement from the Supreme Court gives President Joe Biden his first pick at a time when the American public has increasingly negative views of the high court.
The 2021 General Social Survey also suggests confidence in the court is among its lowest points in the last half century. Sen described how the clear rightward shift of the court might be having distinct effects on Republicans and Democrats. As Democrats grow increasingly dissatisfied with the balance of the court, a Marquette Law School poll in July showed many — 41% — saying justices should consider party control in deciding when to retire. That number jumped to 58% among Democrats when details about Breyer, 82, were mentioned specifically.
