Thinking Twice: Reading the Constitution with Justice Stephen Breyer

Thinking Twice: Reading the Constitution with Justice Stephen Breyer

Celebrate Independence Day with Open to Debate

Justice Stephen Breyer will be a special guest on a new episode of Open to Debate that debuts on Friday July 4th.

As an associate justice on the Supreme Court for almost three decades, Stephen Breyer was no stranger to hearing arguments for different sides in major cases. In this episode, our moderator-in-chief, John Donvan, and Chief Content Officer, Lia Matthow, interview Justice Breyer and discuss his book “Reading the Constitution: Why I Chose Pragmatism, not Textualism.” He discusses how he used this philosophy to guide his decisions and why he thinks jurists should choose this approach.
