Faith & Freedom Coalition Statement On Justice Kennedy’s Retirement From U.S. Supreme Court

Duluth, GA – Below is a statement from Ralph Reed, founder and chairman of the Faith & Freedom Coalition on Justice Anthony Kennedy’s retirement from the United States Supreme Court.

“Justice Kennedy’s retirement is a seminal moment in the modern history of the Supreme Court, giving President Trump a second vacancy in just the first 17 months of his presidency.  For decades people of faith watched the time-honored foundations of our country undermined by rulings handed down by the Supreme Court, most notably by Roe v Wade, which imposed abortion on demand by judicial fiat. President Trump won the evangelical vote overwhelmingly in 2016 in no small measure because he made an ironclad pledge that he would nominate pro-life, strict constructionists who would respect the Constitution, not legislate from the bench. President Trump and the U.S. Senate have an ideal opportunity to restore the rule of law and create a culture of life. We look forward to working with the White House and the Senate in the pending nomination and confirmation of Justice Kennedy’s replacement.”
