Stephen Breyer’s retirement paves the way for President Joe Biden’s Supreme Court appointee Ketanji Brown Jackson to be sworn in to the position

Liberal U.S. Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer will officially retire on Thursday, paving the way for President Joe Biden’s appointee Ketanji Brown Jackson to be sworn in to the lifetime position to replace him, the court said on Wednesday.

“It has been my great honour to participate as a judge in the effort to maintain our Constitution and the Rule of Law,” Breyer said in a letter to Biden. Breyer, the court’s oldest justice, often found himself in dissent on a court that has moved ever rightward, including last Friday when its conservative majority overturned the constitutional right to abortion recognized in the landmark 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling. That decision upheld a Mississippi ban on abortion after 15 weeks of pregnancy.
