(Erin Schaff\/The New York Times via AP, Pool)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h5>OAN Newsroom<br \/>UPDATED 10:02 AM PT \u2013 Friday, October 15, 2021<\/h5>\n<p>Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer recently laughed off Democrats who suggested he should retire. He has continued to brush off these ongoing calls for the the left. During an interview Thursday, the 81-year-old stressed he\u2019s far from bothered by the their push for him to step down.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat doesn\u2019t irk me\u2026I\u2019ll tell you, the truth, I think, is you can always hope for your more mature self, which is there sometimes,\u2019 he stated. \u201cAnd this is a country in which, and every day I see this in this document, but number one, it is called freedom of speech. That means freedom of thought, freedom of expression.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Breyers stepping down has become a major point of frustration for progressives who urge him to leave the bench and be replaced while Democrats still have control. When asked if the calls for his retirement drive him crazy, he replied that it\u2019s far from the worst thing to have people to say mean things about him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you\u2019re not prepared\u2026of course people will get upset about all kinds of things, that\u2019s why we have this First Amendment,\u201d he explained. \u201cWe have it there so people will say the things that you may not like or I might not like, it\u2019s why it\u2019s there.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">A few images from the Supreme Court&#8217;s return to in-person arguments today, from <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Courtartist?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@Courtartist<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>First, the gaveling-in of the 2021-22 term. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/E8bKLzRpLr\">pic.twitter.com\/E8bKLzRpLr<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 SCOTUSblog (@SCOTUSblog) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SCOTUSblog\/status\/1445195639135121409?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 5, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Meanwhile, as progressives continue to grow frustrated with the justice for his refusal to step down, Breyer asserted that he will retire on his own terms.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/biden-hosts-president-of-kenya-at-white-house\/\">Biden Hosts President Of Kenya At White House<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FILE \u2013 In this April 23, 2021, file photo, Supreme Court Associate Justice Stephen Breyer sits during a group photo at the Supreme Court in Washington.
