coalitions and consensus and that s what breyer has been able to do as well. the successor is only going to hold the liberal seat. they re not going to advance a liberal agenda in any way. but one other thing that justice ruth bader ginsburg used to say is descenting opinions are not written for today. they re writton for tomorrow tomorrow. so, even if the successor justice to justice breyer is not offering for majority. it may take a while to get to the point where there s a majority with a more progressive world view. but we need to think of the work of the court for the next generation. yesterday s descent can be the next generation majority opinion. i think whoever this person is needs to be thut of that way.
