 William J. Clinton Foundation "President Names in Judge Breyer Nomination to Supreme Court"
JUDGE BREYER: No, no. Well, what I think of in respect to that is if you think of law in general, there's the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, dozens of guarantees for people, laws and statutes, regulations, rules, common law.
Judge Breyer will bring to the Court a well-recognized and impressive ability to build bridges in pursuit of fairness and justice.
That is why it is so important to appoint someone whom we can predict will be a justice who seeks to ensure that the Court speaks in a clear voice, as unified a voice as it is possible to speak in furthering the goals of liberty and equality under the law.

Thus "judicial power" was "extended" by Article III from nothing in the Articles of Confederation to "cases," in law and equity, arising under this Constitution, the laws of the United States and treaties made, or which shall be made, under their "authority" in Article III.
