Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) shared her thoughts on a possible retirement for U.S. Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer. During an interview on Sunday, the Democrat was pressed on the Justiceâs recent statements that he has not yet made plans for his retirement.
Klobuchar offered her opinion on what he would risk if he waited to retire and if Republicans gain control of the Senate.
âIf heâs going to retire it should be sooner rather than later if you are concerned about the court,â he expressed. âWhat happens in the U.S. Senate matters.â
Democrats have hoped for Breyerâs retirement following President Donald Trumpâs fill of three vacancies within the Supreme Court during his time in office, which resulted in a conservative majority. Breyerâs retirement would allow Joe Biden to fill the justiceâs seat with a left-leaning figure.
Breyer is 82-years-old and has repeatedly claimed in the last several months he has not yet made plans for retirement, but he has considered his health and the makeup of the court in his decision.
