Supreme Court Justices: Sandra Day O’Connor and Stephen Breyer

In this ABC News program, George Stephanopoulos conducts an exclusive interview with two sitting justices of the U.S. Supreme Court: Sandra Day O’Connor and Stephen Breyer. Ranging freely over a number of topics, they share their views on the durable yet flexible nature of the Constitution; interpretation of the Constitution within the context of an ever-evolving society in an increasingly complex world; aspects of the judicial decision-making process, including coping with differences of opinion and the value of diversity on the bench; the benefits and drawbacks of transparency; and the tension, at different times in America’s history, between liberty and national security. (27 minutes)
