In a interview on Sunday, Dershowitz explained the radical left\u2019s pressure to get Justice Breyer to retire was not only age discrimination, but also an attempt to politicize the Supreme Court system. He also warned these attempts would only backfire.<\/p>\n<p>Progressive Democrats have feared Justice Breyer will hold out and die at the bench under a Republican president. Dershowitz argued that although the radical left has been pressuring Breyer to retire, the Supreme Court Justice will never give in.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are those on the hard-left, radical leftists, including academics who are trying to force him off the court,\u201d Dershowitz explained. \u201c\u2026They want to make the Supreme Court a kind of political institution, which is loaded with people of their political stripe.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2431687\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2431687\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-2431687 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/800-8.jpeg\" alt=\"Justice Stephen Breyer sits with fellow Supreme Court justices for a group portrait at the Supreme Court Building in Washington.
