41:58 min ... Justice Stephen Breyer said, "try to put it in it's better light, not it's worst light, never interpret a statute, not that I can think of, I hate to say never, because there are always exceptions, but don't interpret a statute to do something ridiculous and then say it's unconstitutional, interpret it so that it will be constitutional, and the other thing ... listen to what ... people say and maybe even repeat it back ... put succinctly ... ". It seems like a good parenting philosophy too, and a good life philosophy, to stay calm and prevent, 'woe is me' scenarios, for the most part (it seems like it is in part about having that mix, balance and check, between not having an autonomous centralised power yet also not having a localised autonomous centralised power that is compartmentalised.).
Justice Breyer is a true intellectual with deeply insightful views on critical issues. If SCOTUS is the only government branch that people still have respect for, it is due to Justices like him.
@@Nomorehats More like it’s the only branch that has intelligent people serving in it. They don’t yell out blubber and make fake promises to the people, they do their job accordingly.
has there ever been a meeting in human history which doesn't start with "hello everyone" "hello" "welll we can do better than that! HELLO EVERYONE!"? I hate it I hate it I hate it.
so if under 5% of U.S. citizens are Jewish, and at least 1/3 of current US Supreme Court Justices are Jewish, what does that say about the Court's legitimacy? I mean, it's easy for Me to say "legitimate? these are the heirs of treasonous genocidal slavers" but why go that far? It's like you look at Trump, scream terrible things, and ignore the causes: Why a candidate can seriously get elected on a platform of "globalists sold out the country". If it weren't for his mobbed up Russian associates (ah, money laundering, tax evasion, RICO never sounded so good) it might be ironic. But hey, that's oligarchy!
@@Nomorehats that's a fair question and you likely know ethnically jewish people are in fact likelier to be atheist so i'm not quite sure what to do with your question. well played!
@@QuizmasterLaw instead of looking at the precent of the population, consider looking at the percent in the field. What percent of basketball players are black compared to the population?
Justice Breyer is an outstanding jurist, speaker, and teacher You can feel his passion for the law.
Listening to these supreme court justices their clarity of language is impressive.
Wonderful. Please consider having former Justice Souter, I would enjoy seeing that tremendously
Breyer always seems to me a happy boy. Cheerful and carefree 😂
We need a "nonetheless" counter lol!
Thank you🙏
I will also watch this in full later.
Breyer es brillante. Siempre es grato escuchar sus opiniones.

Only reason scotus is still respected is bc it's still the smallest branch.

Justice Breyer and Scalia arguing on the word ‘shall’ Breyer completely destroyed Scalia..... he’s funny and his intellect is unmatched.
has there ever been a meeting in human history which doesn't start with "hello everyone" "hello" "welll we can do better than that! HELLO EVERYONE!"? I hate it I hate it I hate it.

Invite Clarence Thomas. There’s a true hero……but I know you won’t.
Please invite Justice Scalia. Brilliant lawyer.

How many U.S. Supreme Court Justices are Jewish?
so if under 5% of U.S. citizens are Jewish, and at least 1/3 of current US Supreme Court Justices are Jewish, what does that say about the Court's legitimacy?
