Mr. Trump, this question was already decided/answered by the American people when they wrote the declaration of independence. We the people decided we did not want a King and that ALL people were created equally. Sadly the modern GOP does not believe all people were created equally, that minorities and women should have equal rights and equal justice under the law. The GOP believes might makes right and the rich are better than everyone else and should be treated differently, that is the rules don't apply to the rich. What better example of how out of step the modern GOP is than this example of treating Trump as if he were a God or a King. Mr. Trump you are not immune, justice is coming and we will not forget your crimes and your many enablers.

They had already declared independence 15 years beforehand. *Most Americans don’t know what this word means and never consider it from a historical perspective.
Yes, we DID have a standing army. A PROFESSIONAL army. The intent of the Second Amendment was only twofold. 1) To protect ourselves and our government in the event of an attempted takeover by our own army (a coup). 2) To aid in the event of an invading foreign foe. Basically, it backed up the army. You really should read the Federalist Papers, specifically the two which deal with the Second Amendment. You should also read some of the writings of the framers which survive. They were so afraid of the citizen militias turning into a professional army that the Federalist Papers go into detail about how often the militia should meet, train, etc. That is what was meant by 'well regulated.'

He is absolutely correct about the militias.

This has always been deemed one of the strongest bonds by which human policy can connect the rulers and the people together. It creates that communion of interest and sympathy of sentiment of which few governments have furnished examples, but without which every government degenerates into tyranny. “
Breyer should just shut up. If he's well enough to make public statements, write a book, and go on TV, then he should still be on the SC. Instead, we have Amy Coney Barrett. What, he couldn't wait until Trump was out of office to retire??
What a treat to get to hear one of the Justices speak, to see that he's actually got a wonderful personality, and to be able to hear a little bit about how he thinks. Oh man, we *never* get to have this happen -- he'd always been such a mystery to me..
Thank-you Justice Breyer for your honesty and commitment to Democracy. Current SCJ need to re-examine why they are serving on the bench; to enrich themselves or to honestly uphold Democracy & the rule of law. I wish someone else besides Andrea would have conducted this interview.

Click bait headline. Justice Breyer does not even mention Presidential immunity in this segment. He discusses the 2nd Ammendment and the perils of lazily interpreting articles to arive at a predetermined political end. He then shares his personal reasons for retirement. Misreprenting what he said feels eerily Trumpist.

*Sorry former justice Breyer - the right to free speech (**1:30**) - those words are NOT abstract! The Founding Fathers did not think or write in the abstract!*
Even a textual interpretation doesn’t mean individual right to guns as ‘persons’ is the plural of ‘person,’ not ‘people.’ “The people” carries a unitary context as in the people of a nation meaning a group en mass.
SO, not a bit surprising, BUT, Why did the ex Supreme Court just have to go on presidential immunity for anyway, I mean other than avoiding prosecution and all ??? 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

Lawyers are apparently allowed to interpret law texts and even draw conclusions that contradicts the very purpose for why the texts where written down in the first place. Judges should be allowed to look beyond technicalities and sentence crimes according to the intention of legislators.
If RGB thought like this guy we’d be a lot better off with SCOTUS today, but she obviously thought she was indispensable… and possibly immortal. A shame on a great legacy.
Perhaps the American people should consider changing the rules regarding the appointment of SCOTUS members. Perhaps they should be elected by the people. Maybe then, they could be considered, "unbiased", and for the people. Just a thought.
Excellent interview; way too short. Andrea you brought out the intel, and Breyer is far too interesting to only speak with for less than 5. Thanks for at least showcasing a former SC Justice who is obviously a man of conviction and moral fortitude. Too bad there aren't more of him.
They are definitely not for the people, they've shown their cards already. The issue is what will be their best strategy: to continue letting the madman fight their battles for them, or to cut him loose because he's unpredictable.
One mistake that the founders made was not putting into law requiring a constitutional congress every 50 years to update the constitution. Sure we can have amendments, but they often do not force us to think comprehensively about the law of the land.

No everyone didn't. Only you poorly educated people. The president has immunity. Unless if found guilty by the senate during an impeachment. Trump was acquitted. He has immunity 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
We definitely need term limits in the house in the senate and get rid of all these freaking rhinos. And we are never giving up our second amendment. Or our First Amendment. I don't care what the government says I don't care what the state says you'll have to take it out of my dead cold hands. The only reason we have our freedoms is because of our second amendment.
Justice Holmes clarified later that the federal government cannot pass a law restricting a person in doing the act of yelling fire in a crowded theater, but they can still be held accountable for damages caused by their act if they knowingly knew there was no fire/danger.
