Contributing sentiments towards policy:

52% : For instance, in District of Columbia v Heller (2008), he dissented with three others from the five-judge majority who decided that the second amendment included the right for individuals to bear arms independent of serving in a militia.
49% : As guns have become one of the country's focal points, promoted by Republicans and guns rights groups such as the National Rifle Association (NRA), Breyer is one justice who sees the need to restrict rather than expand gun rights.
44% : There is Justice Roberts - a George W Bush nominee - who wrote the opinion and sided with four other judges to keep the Affordable Care Act (otherwise known as Obamacare) on the books.
