Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer on Tuesday warned against an effort to expand the size of the nation’s highest court, citing potential damage to public trust in the judiciary branch.

Breyer, a Clinton appointee who frequently sides with the liberal justices in decisions, raised alarm in his two-hour lecture at Harvard University Law School about an increasingly popular perception of the Court as a political body that changes according to political trends.
