Chief Justice John Roberts delivered today a brief, touching tribute to retiring Justice Stephen Breyer at the end of what was the final oral argument session of Breyer's 28-year tenure on the high court, CBS News reports. His voice breaking with emotion, Roberts noted that Breyer will retire from the Supreme Court at the end of its current term, which will likely conclude by the end of June, meaning the arguments heard by the justices today were the last with Breyer on the bench. NPR has Justice Breyer's remarks, from January when he announced his retirement, about his hope for the "American experiment."
