Breyer misquotes Gettysburg Address during Supreme Court retirement announcement

Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer claimed his wife once paid their grandchildren to memorize Lincoln's Gettysburg Address, but he had a little trouble reciting it himself during his retirement announcement Thursday.

"I will tell you what Lincoln thought and what Washington thought and what people today still think. It's an experiment," Breyer told reporters about the United States. "It's an experiment. That's what they said. And Joanna [Breyer's wife] paid each of our grandchildren certain amount of money to memorize the Gettysburg Address. What I want the students to pick up, if I can remember, are the first two lines, ‘Four score and seven years ago, our forefathers brought upon -- created a new country. A country that was dedicated to liberty and the proposition that all men are created equal. Conceived in liberty.’
