Good morning and welcome to Supreme Court Brief. The justices have had a relatively quiet week in this mid-winter break. With predictions that President Biden and senate democrats will move swiftly on a successor to retiring Justice Stephen Breyer, we took a brief walk through history to see when nominees were confirmed on the same day as their predecessors ended service and when they took their judicial oaths. We also caught up with the results of a unique auction of the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s library. And scroll down to see empiricist Adam Feldman’s report on the legacy of Justice Breyer in numbers.
Thanks for reading. We welcome feedback and tips. Contact Marcia Coyle at [email protected] and follow her on Twitter @MarciaCoyle.
