Justice Stephen Breyer’s retirement announcement came after a year-long campaign by far-left dark-money groups to intimidate the liberal bloc’s senior justice into vacating his Supreme Court seat. The goal was to ensure that President Biden would replace him with an even more liberal justice who would be expected to hold that seat for decades.
It was never a particularly subtle effort. Demand Justice, the far-left group dedicated to judicial nominations in the vast Arabella Advisors dark-money network, even launched a “Breyer Retire” campaign, complete with an online petition telling the justice to step down immediately and a billboard truck driving around the Supreme Court building to convey that message. And the day after the announcement, the same truck took a victory lap, thanking Breyer.
