A Surprise at the Federalist Society Gala: Justice Breyer, a Retired Liberal
Briefly

At the Federalist Society's annual gala, Justices Gorsuch and Breyer emphasized the importance of judicial independence and a collegial court, without addressing ethics controversies directly.
Their appearance at the gala, normally a platform for champions of a conservative Supreme Court, marked a moment of bipartisanship, emphasizing the court's collaborative nature amid calls for reform.
The Federalist Society typically celebrates justices aligned with its conservative agenda, but hosting a liberal justice highlighted an attempt to promote unity in an increasingly partisan environment.
Both justices conveyed a message of camaraderie within the court, sidestepping mounting criticisms over its recent decisions and the need for reforms, emphasizing instead need for collegiality.
