Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer is reportedly not happy that news broke on Wednesday that he has decided to retire from the nation’s highest court.
“Multiple sources tell me Justice Breyer was not planning to announce his retirement today,” Fox News anchor Shannon Bream wrote on Twitter. “They describe him as ‘upset’ with how this has played out. We still await any official notice from his office and/or the #SCOTUS public information office.”
A short time later, Bream added, “A bit more clarity. I’m told Justice Breyer had firmly decided on his own to retire and that an announcement was due very soon. And while it appears someone jumped the gun on that, better to characterize him as surprised by events today than ‘upset.’”
