Liberal groups have mounted a pressure campaign for Breyer to step down in order to give President Joe Biden an opportunity to nominate a younger liberal to the Supreme Court while Democrats have a Senate majority and avoid a situation where Breyer stays on for too long and ends his career while Republicans control the White House or Senate.
Those encouraging Breyer to retire also see it as part of a larger effort for structural reforms such as court-packing to counteract what they view as a rightward tilt of the court that is at odds with public opinion and the public interest.
The unprecedented pressure on Breyer is such that earlier this year, the progressive group Demand Justice paid for a truck carrying a billboard to drive around the Supreme Court with a message encouraging him to retire.
