Breyer on court-packing: Karma's a bitch, Democrats

Okay, okay, Justice Stephen Breyer didn’t put it that colloquially. However, NPR relates his argument against court-packing from Breyer’s new book, in which the Supreme Court justice does write, “What goes around comes around.” And ironically, he uses the poster child for judiciary-related karma to make his point — Harry Reid:

U.S. Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer has a warning to those who want to remake the court: Be careful what you wish for.

In his new book, The Authority of the Court and the Peril of Politics, Breyer argues that over time, public acceptance of Supreme Court opinions, even those you may disagree with, has become a habit — a hard-won habit that has fortified the rule of law as an essential part of U.S. democracy.

And he points to what former Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid said about Bush v. Gore when the Supreme Court effectively ruled that George W. Bush had won the presidential election.

“He said the most remarkable thing about this case is, even though probably half the country didn’t like it at all, and it was totally wrong, in his opinion and in mine, people followed it, and they didn’t throw brickbats at each other and they didn’t have riots,” he told NPR legal affairs correspondent Nina Totenberg.
