Stephen Breyer

Stephen Breyer, an Associate Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court, has written a book, Making Our Democracy Work: A Judge’s View, which has just come out in paperback. The Court year is about to begin (traditionally on the first Monday in October), and so, before things get too busy at his day job, he's been promoting his book and the ideas it contains. You can hear him interviewed September 21st by Tom Ashbrook on NPR's OnPoint, talking, among other things, about how it's not really politics but personal background that accounts for differences in opinion on the Court. 47 min., no transcript — streaming or downloadable .mp3
