Harvard Law Professor Alan Dershowitz has criticized the Democrat push for Supreme
Court Justice Stephen Breyer to step down. In a interview on Sunday, Dershowitz explained the radical left’s pressure to get Justice Breyer to retire is not only age discrimination, but also an attempt to politicize the Supreme Court system. He warned these attempts would only backfire.
Progressive Democrats fear Breyer will hold out and die at the bench under a Republican president. Dershowitz argued that although the radical left has been pressuring Breyer to give in and retire, the Supreme Court Justice will never give in.
“There are those on the hard-left, radical leftists, including academics who are trying to force him off the court,” Dershowitz explained. “…They want to make the Supreme Court a kind of political institution, which is loaded with people of their political stripe.”
The law professor argued radical leftists have pushed for the retirement of Justice Breyer to give Joe Biden the opportunity to appoint Breyer’s successor while there is still a Democratic majority within the Senate. The pressure from academics and Democrats to force Breyer to step down has revealed the party perceives everything politically and reminds the nation what is “wrong with the hard left today.”
Dershowitz went on to say he hopes Justice Breyer will resist and remain on the Supreme Court for as long as his health permits him.
