Good morning and welcome to Supreme Court Brief! This morning sees the final argument of the 2021-22 Term. It also marks the final argument in front of retiring Justice Stephen Breyer. The day seemed like a good time to revisit Justice Breyer’s first oral arguments and memorable moments of his 1994-95 term. Plus, scroll down for some thoughts on the Roberts Court and the establishment clause.

Thanks for reading. We welcome feedback and tips. Contact Marcia Coyle at [email protected] and follow her on Twitter @MarciaCoyle.
