Fun fact: when Stephen Breyer was a teenager at San Francisco’s Lowell High School in the 1950s, he debated future governor Jerry Brown. Now, as a justice for the U.S. Supreme Court, Breyer hears arguments central to the lives of Americans and our country’s governance — topics as wide-ranging as same-sex marriage and campaign finance. Breyer joins us to talk about life as a Supreme Court justice, his book “The Court and the World” and whether legal decisions in other countries should influence those in the U.S.
