Sounds like the high-mided above-politics spirit of the Supreme Court lives on... Message 14991815 CONTROVERSY SWIRLS AROUND SUPREME JUSTICE BREYER; COMMENTS MADE BY GORE 'FRIEND' INDICATE PREJUDICE "And now the secretary has certified a winner," Justice Breyer declared. "And therefore, I guess, whether we win -- whether your side, the side you're supporting wins or loses, it doesn't change that." Gore was a driving force during formal meetings held by President Clinton's Supreme Court search team in the Spring of 1994. During the sessions, a list of a dozen prospects were considered to fill retiring Justice Harry Blackmun's seat. In the end, the nomination was given to Breyer, a personal friend of Gore's. And Gore presided over Breyer's swearing-in ceremony.
