Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer is retiring, according to NBC News.

“Justice Stephen Breyer will step down from the Supreme Court at the end of the current term, according to people familiar with his thinking,” NBC News reported.

The Clinton-nominated Justice Breyer is one of three liberal justices on the Supreme Court, alongside Obama appointees Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan. Breyer’s decision to retire after more than 27 years on the Supreme Court will now provide President Joe Biden with the opportunity to appoint a successor, thereby maintaining the current 6-3 split between conservative and liberal justices.
