This week's episode continues our weekly focus on individual Justices, with this week's Justice du jour being Stephen Breyer. Brett and Nazim discuss Breyer's background and cover influential death penalty cases over the last four decades to see if there is traction on finding the death penalty unconstitutional. Lastly, the current pending case of Moore v.
