Toomey Statement on Justice Kennedy’s Retirement from the Supreme Court of the United States
Washington, D.C. - United States Senator Pat Toomey (R-Pa.) issued the following statement regarding Justice Anthony Kennedy's decision to retire from the Supreme Court of the United States:
"Justice Anthony Kennedy has admirably served our nation for the past 30 years as a Supreme Court Justice. He will be remembered as a thoughtful and fair jurist. I thank Justice Kennedy for his service and wish him nothing but the best in the future.
"In the coming weeks, President Trump will announce a nominee to fill this vacancy on the Supreme Court. This person should be committed to the rule of law and ensuring everyone is treated fairly under it. Moreover, whoever is nominated should understand the proper role of a judge is to apply the law, including the U.S. Constitution, as written. I look forward to meeting with the President's choice in the coming weeks."
