Let's make this birthday one to remember.

86 years old (Born on August 15, 1938)

Happy Birthday, Justice Breyer! It's not easy spending nearly three decades interpreting the Constitution with dignity, clarity, and—often—dry humor! Your detailed opinions and eloquent dissents continue to inspire both jurists and law students sweating through constitutional law classes nationwide.

From your thoughtful deliberations since 1994, guiding momentous decisions on healthcare laws to passionately defending judicial impartiality, you've truly elevated our understanding of justice—with a dose of wit along the way. May your birthday candles burn bright enough to dissent against aging (at least temporarily)! Here's wishing you joy and laughter today as timeless as your jurisprudence is memorable.
