Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer holds up a copy of the Constitution as he delivers remarks during his retirement ceremony at the White House in Washington on Thursday, Jan. 27, 2022. Breyer, who plans to step down this year after nearly three decades on the high court, has made his mark as a pragmatist who helped forge compromises between liberals and conservatives at a time when the nation grew more polarized. Breyer has been a reliable liberal vote on the court and an ardent opponent of originalism, the conservative approach of interpreting the Constitution based on its original meaning. Instead, Breyer believes in a "living" document that adapted to the times.
