Longtime United States Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer is retiring, giving President Joseph Biden his first high court opening, which he has promised to fill with the historic naming of the court’s first Black woman.Breyer, 83, has been a pragmatic force in a court that has grown increasingly conservative, trying to forge majorities with more moderate justices right and left of centre.His retirement, which was reported on Wednesday, will give Biden the chance to name and win confirmation of a replacement before next fall’s election when Republicans could retake the Senate and block future nominees.
