According to Senator Arlen Specter, he had a chance encounter with Justice Breyer at a summer meeting after the end of the 2006-2007 term, and Specter publicly stated that Justice Breyer told him there were "eight" decisions in which the [[Roberts Court]] had overruled precedent.<ref>http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0707/5099.html</ref> Specter then publicly said he was going to review the testimony provided by nominees Chief Justice [[John Roberts]] and Justice [[Sam Alito]] to the Senate Judiciary Committee to see if they were abiding by it.
On the issue of continued advisory use of the controversial [[Sentencing Guidelines]], Justice Breyer voted for preserving rather than invalidating them.
