Stephen Breyer in Fox News Sunday interviews during 2021

On Government Reform: If people want to change nomination process it will be

I'm there for everybody. I'm not just there for the Democrats. I'm not just there for the Republicans. And I'm not just there because a president was a Democrat who appointed me.

And part of it is to remember that you're there for everyone. They won't like what you say half the time or more, but you're still there for them. That's the privilege of the job in a way. You have to give your all. You have to work as hard as you can. So, you see, I think it's important we have trust.

On Government Reform: Trump election challenge didn't meet criteria for Court

TRUMP: No judge, including the Supreme Court of the United States, has had the courage to allow it to be heard.

Q: Why was that?

BREYER: Why was it? Because they didn't bring a case, I guess, that met the normal criteria for being heard. When we decide to take a case, there have to be four votes to take it. So I can't go beyond that. If we don't take a case all likelihood is that the criteria weren't met.

On Government Reform: Open to term limits on the Supreme Court if long enough

BREYER: Well, if one party could do it, I guess another party could do it. And on the surface it seems to me you start changing all these things around, and people will lose trust in the court.

Q: What about term limits?

BREYER: Well, I think you could do that. It should be a very long term because you don't want the judge who's holding that term to start thinking about his next job. But it would make life easier for me.
