You know that scene from The Office where Michael Scott is just shouting “It's happening, it's happening!” That's what's going on right now after news broke that Justice Stephen Breyer plans on retiring.
Let’s say that again: Justice Stephen Breyer is retiring.
In this emergency episode of Boom! Lawyered co-hosts Jessica Mason Pieklo and Imani Gandy break down what a Breyer retirement and vacancy on the bench means. With the Supreme Court scheduled to release opinions on Monday, Jess predicts we may see some smoke, some fire: "You know what it's like when you're done with something—you're done."
