Former Justice Stephen Breyer appeared on Washington Post Live and this was a screen grab. Catherine Rampell asked an obvious question:
The comments to X post put out several ideas. But the most obvious explanation is that it was to highlight the book Breyer was flogging (the only visible title):
That is an awful lot of work to eliminate all other books from the background. If you were going to touch every book (twice!) to stage this, why not just put photos, objet d'art, and plants behind him? Does anyone believe that Stephen Breyer's library is always this way, that he loves to randomly select unknown books to peruse?

I expect he has books there that he doesn't want us to see.
