Justice Stephen Breyer, 83, has spent nearly three decades on the Supreme Court building a legacy as a champion of liberal causes.
Associated Press
Breyer first came to the court in 1994 at the age of 55, replacing Justice Harry Blackmun. President Bill Clinton appointed him and the Senate confirmed him 87-9. It was a different political climate, one not engulfed by hyper-partisanship that has plagued the last three confirmation votes. As a law student, he worked as a clerk to Justice Arthur Goldberg. Later he worked in the Department of Justice's antitrust division, worked as a Harvard law professor and an attorney for the Senate Judiciary Committee.
