U.S. Senator John Boozman (R-AR) released the following statement in response to the announcement that Associate Justice Anthony Kennedy will retire from the United States Supreme Court effective July 31:
“Justice Kennedy served on the federal bench for 43 years, 30 of which were on the Supreme Court of the United States where he helped shape our country’s jurisprudence in a profound way. I thank him for his service to our nation and his commitment to upholding the rule of law throughout his tenure on the highest court in the land. I wish him well in retirement and I am eager for the Senate to fulfill our constitutional duty to advise the president on the selection of our next Supreme Court justice.”
