interesting twist you put on that argument. it is true, dana, you can agree within washington there has been a drumbeat for the past year to get justice breyer to move to the point where he would hang it up after 28 years. a sample of that. go back to june 13th of last year and on it goes, watch. we do think that justice steven breyer should retire at the end of this term? you know, it s something i think about but i would probably lean towards yes. i do believe that he should retire prior to the mid-terms. i think that would be best for our country. if he is going the retire it should be sooner rather than later if you re concerned about the court. what happens in the u.s. senate matters. bill: how about it s his option? turley just said it was a great unfairness to a justice to serve 28 years on the bench. water under the bridge. dana: under their breath
whether v.p. harris could break a tie. dana: it was interesting yesterday to look at all of that. thank you so much. bill: jonathon turley law professor from george washington university. nice to see you today. you heard jackie use the word surprised. shannon bream reported a source told her at least the office or a source close to justice breyer was blind-sided. what do you make of that? well, we usually have an actual letter from the justice that announces a pending or immediate resignation. that is considered a very important point of decorum. i think president biden was right that he was not going to make a statement until the justice made a statement. that is really considered good form. whoever leaked this really did a great unfairness to justice
