Supreme Court Justice (nominated by Pres. Ford 1975)


Congress can regulate guns in school under Commerce clause

In U.S. v. Lopez (1995), Breyer authored a stinging dissent, joined by Justices John Paul Stevens, David Souter, and Ruth Bader Ginsburg, defending Congress’s power to regulate the possession of guns in school zones across the nation as within federal authority over interstate commerce.
