Breyer warns justices that some opinions could 'bite you in the back' in exclusive interview with CNN's Chris Wallace

Breyer on Dobbs decision overturning Roe: "Was I happy about it? Not for an instant. Did I do everything I could to persuade people? Of course, of course."
In a wide-ranging interview with CNN's Chris Wallace on "Who's Talking to Chris Wallace," which debuted Friday on HBOMax and airs Sunday night on CNN, Breyer also bemoaned his position in the court's minority liberal bloc during his final year on the bench, addressed the court's reversal of Roe v. Wade and spoke about the ongoing controversy regarding Ginni Thomas, the wife of Justice Clarence Thomas.
Breyer said it was a "very frustrating" spot to be in as he found himself in dissent in a number of historically consequential cases where he said the majority side (conservatives -- although the retired justice did not use that description) was unwilling to bend.
