Breyer defends state of Supreme Court in interview with CNN's Fareed Zakaria

As the Supreme Court finds itself in an unwelcome political spotlight at the start of a new term, Justice Stephen Breyer defended the institution Sunday in an interview on CNN's "Fareed Zakaria GPS," insisting that the court is driven not by political considerations, but by judicial philosophy.

"There are many jurisprudential differences," Breyer said. "It isn't really right to say that it's political in the ordinary sense of politics."
