Noting Past Divisions Justice Breyer Says It's Up to Future Generations to Make American Experiment Work

Retiring Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer speaks about what he has found meaningful about his time on the bench, saying America is an "experiment" and that it is up to future generations to make it work. Noting the divisions of the Civil War and Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address to heal the wounds of war, Justice Breyer appeals to young people to help chart the course for the nation. "I want you to pick Justice up. It's an experiment that's still going on...They'll determine whether the experiment still works. I'm an optimist and I'm pretty sure it will," Justice Breyer says. close
