#Trump #DonaldTrump #SCOTUS
Justice Stephen Breyer is alert, intelligent and takes matters very seriously. Unfortunately he is a dying breed.
I hope the latest appointed justice will be like him.
The judiciary is one of the biggest reasons to vote blue.
It was an absolutely refreshing interview. We need people like him running for office. We need more people like him in general.
@@natesboredindeed, he was compassionate, delightful, down to earth
Unfortunately, Breyer seems to believe the fantasy that there is not a corrupt antidemocratic majority in SCOTUS.
As a European, American politics always surprises me.
Like, one side appoints well-spoken, highly regarded justices who could easily go teach at a prestigious university for an easy life, and then the other side nominates people whose most memorable quote is "i like beer"
As an American, nobody cares about Europe. Your entire continent is full of weak queefs.
That’s what we call over here, @American exceptionalism!” 🙄 In layman’s terms, the right to be illogical and senseless, where ignorance and anti-intellectualism is something about which we brag! It really exists in no other country that I know of, it’s simply astounding!
Remember that it was trump who nominate the judge that said "I like beer"
@@oliviaturner7388 Yeah, in effect or in essence, but in their thoughts and feelings I think few would assert they're being illogical and senseless, tho' many would be proud to say they're anti-intellectual. That's a key part of hypernationalist, fascist movements, which like prejudice and discrimination, are found in every country, every people. Yet the world does get better over time, at least a little bit (for those who can see how much more it could be).
The difference between Democrats and Republicans. A good justice ignores the politics.
As a black man I will support the guy with 81 years behind him over the guy with 91 criminal charges in front of him.
Couldn’t have put it better myself 👏
How offended were you at his thinking he could court the black vote with his mug shot and spray painted sneakers?
Funny how this is the exact same profile photo as the other account called Blacks4Trump. You have a twin?
I'll take the guy with the fake charges
Thank you sir. I, as a woman will support the same man as I have a 6 year old granddaughter who should NOT have fewer rights than I have had. 🩵
We need more Justice Breyers❤
❤I agree😊
Ain’t it the truth❤
He must be pretty bad then
All judges who overturned Roe swore under oath that they wouldn't. Isn't that perjury?
It should be, and at the very least collusion and corruption. They lied to lawmakers and the American people straight to their faces.
I Think so😢
Get over it!,It was the correct legal decision. Why doesn't Bidumb and his minions try to reverse it? Bidumb ignores the SCOTUS. How you like the communism blue wave now?
They lied.. And, they knew they were lying.
These judges now in the Supreme Court are rogue judges.
These judges have no moral compass.
It was a privilege to listen to Justice Breyer. Thank you!
My thoughts exactly❤
He's brilliant! So level-headed and calm, too. Wish we could clone him.
No@@bo2.4u6
I love how he explains the justices should not be basing rule of law on their own morals of right and wrong. It needs to be based on the LAW not how they FEEL about the law.
If anyone would be following the law, Hilary and Biden would be in jail
...I grew up believing that is the ONLY way a judge ruled...BASED on LAW....wthell has happened????
@@sharontrujillo You grew up..? What did you expect to happen, the world to grow down?
EXCELLENT COMMENTARY!!!
That’s how law is supposed to work! TFG happened!
*Now if we could only get the sitting justices to listen to Justice Breyer's reason and DO THE RIGHT THING instead of ruling only to serve their political party (rather than applying the rule of law) as they have been doing recently. Thank you Ari, great interview!*
Whats happening with the SC today is frightening! The future of our country is in big trouble because of this current SCOTUS 😔
So true
I had always believed that the Supreme Court would follow the law. I didn't have to agree with their decision, but I hoped that they followed the law and not a political party. I no longer believe that, and changes need to be done for the court. Absolute power corrupts absolutely....Justice C Thomas. I could understand maybe once or twice with the Supreme Court benefit of doubt. Thomas should be removed just for all the monetary gains he received.
No, because you want Biden to replace him with another liberal diversity hire before he retires under Trump. Not gonna happen. Keep crying.
This is absurd. How did they not follow the law?
@@scottharrison8701 They allowed on the ballot someone who in very clear language in the constitution is forbidden from holding office, and now they are taking serious arguments that the president should be immune to ANY prosecution, effectively creating a dictator. THAT'S absurd
The judges are corrupt they twist the words of the constitution to suit their feelings, it's just the conservative judges.@scottharrison8701
Not to mention the obvious conflict of interest. Is he really so arrogant to believe he shouldn't recuse?
Justice Breyer is a wonderful guest. Thanks Ari.
guilgilffyky
Such a pleasure to hear considerate discourse in these very bad mannered times. Thanks Ari.
Superb interview of an exceptional man! I have watched 6 interviews with Justice Breyer, & you elicited the most information! Thank you, Ari!
I listened to his Confirmation Hearings in the 90's and figured he'd be a pro-pollution obfuscating corporate hack
I heard his First Interviews: during his Confirmation Hearings. Breyer was and still is an Obfuscator. Corporate Pollution: "Maybe..." He's a Hack, too, even if he has a bit more empathy than the Fabulous Five now [ABC gets a pass so far]
OMG I LOVE THIS JUDGE BREYER ❤🇨🇦
This is a GOOD Supreme Court Justice; one who retired when he thought it was time. Too bad all the sitting justices who should have been removed for lying in confirmation hearings (both Kavanaugh and Coney-Barrett) or for lying AND being completely BOUGHT (Justice Clarence Thomas and his "MAGA influencer" traitorous wife) are still there corrupting our SCOTUS and all it's rulings. At this point, I also think Chief Justice Roberts (and his wife) have "erred" in taking some unethical payments and liberties as well when he should be keeping the others in line. *We need to CLEAN OUT the SCOTUS!*
Great interview. What a brilliant, humble, servant!
Justice Breyer is an adorable smart human being. Fantastic to listen to him and to watch him. B.R.
It's so refreshing to hear an intelligent discussion between two people who aren't yelling at each other.
Excellent episode. I sure do wish we had more Justice Bryers! I always had such a respect for the Supreme Court; I was proud to take my 9yr old son to see it. Now I am completely disgusted with the Supreme Court Justices, and so are both of my grown sons.
Thank you both very much
💙💙👍👍💙💙
Thank you, Justice Beyer, for sharing your Wisdom ⚖️ 🇺🇸
Great listening and learning. Thank you Justice Breyer.💙
Humble & honorable Justice Stephen Bryer helping us thru this struggle. Thanks for never retiring on us
Thanks Justice Breyer.
SCOTUS has proven very well that their independence is not deserved and they need a deep investigation into their actions and behind-the-scene relationships with influencers, esp. Justices Thomas and Alito.
This man is SHARP as a tack!! What an outstanding lesson in the law and The Supreme Court and Democracy..
Isn’t this heavily tenured legal gentleman, delightful⁉️👍🏽🇺🇸⚖️
Always whining. Trump has never stopped in almost 80 years. Biggest loser vibe in American political history.
Best President of the 21st century 😑! Especially after Obama.
Yep! Loser, loser, loser Con[vict]
@@josefeibl8230When were you born last night? We went from George Washington to honest Abe to an indicted corrupt president!
@@josefeibl8230Obama is the one who started bringing the economy back. Trump sat there and did literally nothing but run his mouth
@@josefeibl8230 By what conceivable metric? Was it the tanked economy, the record unemployment, or the 1.2 million dead Americans that really won you over?
What an intelligent, honorable man❤
Eh
yes, I concur He should have run against trump and then this country would not be in this conundrum
@@floodgatestudios1825 perfect example of your brains functions, just post every sound you imagine. Whatever keeps you happy in your obviously boring live😉
@@donaldchipman3864 of course. Wanna complain about Bidens age again? After saying this man (who is older than Biden) should run for president?🤭
I absolutely loved this interview! He was funny and a good man.
“Politics and the court. No judge decides a case on the basis of the temperature of the day, but every judge is affected by the climate of the season.” Paul Froyne, Law Professor, Harvard
The attempted handshake in front of the judge and just deserves jail time, until the end of the trial. That's blatant witness intimidation.
He's also paying for her attorneys
Goodness what an amazing man. Thank you, Ari for having Justice Breyer on! His concepts are good for a number of paths in life. I will get his book and read it!
Thank you, Ari! Thank you, Justice Breyer! ⚖
Thank you both for the education just gave us all! ❤
Wow !
And we think we know . . . . Almost everything !
Listening to Justice Stephen Breyer is humbling!!
That was great! Thank you both!
Judge Stephen Breyer, thank you for the pragmatic review of our Constitution and legal history and process. Great listen (Audible)!
Judge Breyer is priceless! Thank you, Ari!
loolfryukyu
Wonderful and delightful interview with a great man! I would certainly think that Clarence Thomas has NOT served with good behavior, as Justice Breyer says are the terms of their continued service on the Court. Time for him to be investigated and be GONE.
or7io67ier
The only reason to overturn any settled case is to prevent proven ongoing harm, based on actual science or stats. These Justices overturned a law that prevented the deaths of women, for no reason but personal religious ones, therefore, unconstitutional ones, as it will lead to more women dying for no reason.
What a miss to the Supreme Court. He absolutely did his best. Thank you for this wonderful man. May he continue to educate America!! ❤
Absolutely great person.
Thank you Justice Breyer
Enlightening conversation! I will watch again!
Wise man.
I dunno, it may just be me, but this guy Breyer seems pretty smart.
My 15 yo asked me about pizzagate...she and all her friends saw it online and she was horrified. We had a discussion about media literacy that day. And about how Republicans lie about disgusting things like this to scare people into voting for them.
In addition to that, republicans do a lot of projecting. Seems to be everything they accuse anyone or group of doing, their the ones doing it.
And someone could have been injured or killed when that nut went to the pizza shop with a gun
I love the usernmae.
Yes that is SO TRUE!!!!!❤
Thank you, Ari and Justice Breyer, for this great interview👏👏👏👏👏
More! This was a great discussion. We need exactly this kind of exposure and discourse now more than ever. Thank you both!
It’s not about age, it’s about staleness. Look at Thomas. 33 YEARS and he’s not progressing, he’s regressing.
Unchecked power and greed with no integrity and the results are dangerous.
Because of people like him and his wife the US will become a failed state. Fyi
Not stale: rotten
@@jorgegonzalez-larramendi5491 That’s fair.
8or78or67i
Term limits for SC Judges now.
Yes like yesterday!
na... you wouldn't be saying that if libs had the majority.
Good luck, term limits haven't even been implemented yet for senators and congressman. 🤣
@@brandon3525 Correct, we would not. There would be no injustice requiring it be said.
Definitely
Great interview, great questions Ari, the amazing judge Breyers to interview was very engaging
Best MSNBC interview I’ve ever heard. Not the interviewer. The thoughtfulness of the interviewee.
Impeachment for ethic or criminal violations for SC Judges now.
If people really want to see that, they have to give Democrats a supermajority in the Senate and House.
Yes 💯!
So impeach anyone you disagree with?
Thomas, his wife was an insurrectionist.
@@josefeibl8230 That is NOT what anyone is saying, what is being said is; SCROTUS is not judging based on the Constitution; overturning Roe and the decision on Colorado ballot case are the perfect example. How can you read the 14th amendment and think otherwise. I know it's anybodies guess right now, I do have a sinking feeling that SCROTUS will make the wrong call on Presidential immunity. The corruption in the court is so blatant and overwhelming, how can anyone trust them.
💙💙💙💙💙💙💙VOTE BLUE TO KEEP AMERICA STAY SAFE AND GREAT.
What Country are you from commie?
Your indoctrination is complete!
There are some patriotic Americans that know and use and uphold the Constitution of the United States of America. Vote - it's your country.
8or78or78
This is a great interview. Very informative and inspiring. Thank you.
Justice Breyer is such a wonderful person. So well reasoned.
Overturning ROE was the extreme Catholic judges. Especially, Alito he's hated Roe since when it became law because of his religion. He is following the rules of the Catholic Church not his job of being a judge for the US.
Not everyone in this country is Catholic or religious and should not have to follow what the religious believe. It's unfair that the majority judges are making decisions for the minority and themselves instead of letting people choose for their own health. The religious SC judges are punishing women who don't follow the Catholic religion.
Excellent interview, Ari.
That was very good and insightful
Oh, how I miss the days when government officials were moral, decent, compassionate, and intelligent! What happened to us?
We took our country for granted. 2016 had the lowest voter turnout in decades.
Totally enjoyed this interview. Thank you Justice Breyer for your clarity and intelligence. I really hope SCOTUS listened to this interview.
Excellent, as always. Thank you. : )
WoW! What a neat experience it was hearing Justice Breyer speak! Full of knowledge, hope, and love ! Thank you for giving us a conversation that will stick with us a long time!
o9rt78or78ri
Thank you Ari , this was a great discussion , really enjoyed the Judge and his insights.
Thanks for this moment with judge Breyer!
What a wonderful opportunity to 'meet' Justice Breyer! I am truly grateful!
Samuel Chase was impeached and removed from his position as a Supreme Court Justice.
Congress has the power to impeach and remove them.
Folks start writing your Congressional Representatives and tell them to start the process of impeachment to those Justices that are failing to uphold the law regarding Presidential immunity.
Unless you live in today's Florida
@@jorgegonzalez-larramendi5491or Texas.
So you can find 2/3 of this or the next Senate to convict ANY of them? Impeachment is 'easy', conviction is a very steep Mountain.
Thank you Ari for bringing the wisdom of Justice Breyer to your show and our attention. Such a well balanced response to your questions, using the language easily understood by the public and non politically biased
now that was worth watching - such a simple philosophy but it has been forgotten in todays judicial system
Outstanding interview - thanks, Ari.
Great interview! Great Judge!
Great guest Ari! I really appreciate your true respect to our Elder litigaters!
What well spoken man. I wish he still had a vote.
Ketanji
Tell me of any WH staff members that thought any questionable action that Trump contemplated would not end well?,so why should he get immunity?
Wonderful interview.
Excellent point what are the values? What are the values of the US Constitution? It appears to me that a few justices do not have the values required to be a justice representing the government of the US. Shameful, just as shameful those who appointed them.
Hillary was telling us how she voted against Samuel Alito as he wants a theocracy and he wants it based on his own religion!
@@lenninyberg4064 AND Hillary won the popular Presidential vote by THREE MILLION VOTES.
In any other TRULY Representative Democratic Republic, she would have become our President.
But, because of our antediluvian, anachronistic and ANTI democratic Electoral College we got a corrupt, treasonous, lying New York Gangster instead.
SCOTUS judges should not be chosen by Presidents, they should have been extremely good at their jobs to warrant being placed in such a position, and there should be a length of time/age limit. Politics should not be in the process of election.
Great work
Wonderful and inspiring.
Can we clone Justice Breyer and send him back to the Supreme Court please?
Term limits are one thing but important imo to review the confirmation process and an enforceable code of conduct for judges. It's so important that people in these roles are impartial and not corrupt
Justice Breyer is brilliant and surprisingly humorous. Very interesting insights. Too bad Breyer retired when he did.
Bravo
Should be term limits for judges
Excellent ❤
Two brilliant men, one an excellent interviewer and the other an outstanding interviewee. We need more of both of these people in our lives and world.
I saw him at Francis W Parker in Chicago on April 1, 2024 where he spoke about why he wrote his book. There was a fascinating Q&A. He is a fascinating, sharp, smart gentleman.
CHI-TOWN!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
🐻⬇️ CHICAGO BEARS!!! 🐻⬇️
I like that. Decisions should be made based on "consequences, purposes, and values,." which was the traditional method of the Supreme Court.
Giving anyone a job in such an important role as the Supreme Court for life is totally ridiculous. There must be a certain length of tenure with the possibility of renewal depending on their actions and they ought to be elected by the government, the people.
Trump only wants loyalty. Not competence.
The SCOTUS problem is not that it suffers from an intellectually faulty way of deciding cases. The problem is that it is a _corrupt_ court: from financial graft and hearing cases with which they have a connection, to actively intervening in an election to deny the electorate a decision before they cast their vote.
Yea they just make up whatever bs would support their decision. Half the time its not even coherent (I'm looking at Alitos opinion on overturning Roe). They know it doesn't fool anyone. They don't care. They are corrupt and love the power of ruining millions of Americans lives. It makes them feel superior and tbh, the way our system is now, they are.
Somehow they have personally evoked the strongest sense of hate ive ever had. There's something about murderers sitting on a bench acting holier than thou that particular grinds my gears. Murderers who opened the door to forcing babies to be born who cannot survive and will suffer. I put that at their feet because they knew exactly what would happen. Barrett was apparently not paying attention given how shocked she sounded about Idahos depravity. I wish the rest of us had the luxury of burying our head that far in the sand while getting to decide whatever we want for other people.
He’s a fading breed of true jurisprudence in America today.
70- 80 year old judges don't need another job given to them
Thank you for this interview. What an example of what is missing in the world today.
Must have term limits for all.
EVERYBODY FORGETS:
"A well Regulated Militia, being Necessary to the secutity of a free State!!"
Does NOT mean just ANYBODY can walk around packin' Heat..........
Great show, let's have more of these!
It is so nice to hear some discuss something so calmly and who actually knows how the law works.
Was Ginny Thomas investigated?
Oh to be lucky enough to be a 7th grader among those Justice Breyer addresses! What a fascinating & intriguing interview!
