Senator Richard Blumenthal

Justice Kennedy’s retirement is earth-shaking and gut-wrenching. His departure means a historic challenge is ahead. The American people should have a voice. My Republican colleagues should follow their own precedent. A confirmation vote should take place after a new Congress is seated. A decision of this historic magnitude requires more deliberate consideration than is possible in the politically charged months between now and the election. The future of privacy protections, women’s healthcare, and many basic civil rights all hinge on who is chosen as the next Supreme Court Justice. The Supreme Court isn’t just marble pillars and velvet drapes. Its decisions have a direct impact on people’s lives – and the lives of our children.
