(CBS) Justice John Paul Stevens has shaped more American history than any Supreme Court justice alive. And for most of his 35 years on the court, he followed the usual tradition: declining to talk about his cases in interviews.
As he prepared to retire, "60 Minutes" and correspondent Scott Pelley hoped he would overrule that custom and talk with us about the decisions that have changed our times.
Full storyI watched this on Sunday night. Stevens, whom Gerald Ford appointed to the High Court, criticized the rulings of
Bush v. Gore and
Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission. Note that 60 Minutes's youtube account disabled embedding, but the embed here provides a link to the video hosted on Youtube.com.
