Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer will retire at the end of the Court’s current term, NBC News reported.
Justice Breyer’s retirement enables President Joe Biden to appoint his successor.
Having served on the Court as an associate justice for more than two decades, Breyer is the Supreme Court’s oldest member at 83 years old.
In recent months, left-wing activists heavily scrutinized Breyer, demanding his retirement so that President Biden could nominate a younger progressive liberal to take his spot on the bench.
Breyer’s tenure with the Supreme Court is defined by his role in the liberal coalition alongside justices Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, and the late Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
This is a breaking story and will be updated.
