Justice Breyer to retire opens first Biden court pick
Justice Stephen Breyer plans to retire at 83, giving President Biden a major opening on the Supreme Court. The retirement comes as Democrats seek a swift confirmation to replace him with the first Black woman nominee, while Republicans warn the process may face limits. Breyer has served since 1994 and will leave a 6-3 conservative-leaning court unchanged in overall balance.
