Durbin says he won't 'join that chorus' of Dems calling for Breyer to step down: 'I admire him greatly'
Fox News
Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Dick Durbin said on Wednesday that Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer doesn't need members of Congress to "push or shove" him into retirement, distancing himself from calls by some Democrats for the justice to leave the bench as soon as possible.
Durbin, the second-most powerful Democrat in the Senate, made the comments as the Supreme Court and its composition continue to be a hot topic both in and out of Congress. The court wrapped up its term earlier this month with the 6-3 GOP appointed majority flexed its muscles on an election case and a union case; President Biden's Supreme Court commission held its third public meeting Tuesday with impassioned calls both for and against packing the court from various experts; and many Democrats are warning that Breyer's refusal to relinquish his seat so Biden can replace him will eventually play into Republicans' hands if they win back the Senate in 2022.
