Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.) on Wednesday lamented the retirement of Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy as “a disaster” for “We the People.”
The 81-year-old Kennedy, an appointee of former President Ronald Reagan's, who has long been considered a “swing vote” on the court, announced his retirement on Wednesday.
“This is a disaster for everyone who believes in the 'We the People' vision of the Constitution,” Merkley tweeted.
In a follow-up tweet, Merkley noted that he was “worried” about the standing of Roe v. Wade, the landmark Supreme Court decision that legalized abortion.
Kennedy’s retirement opens the door for President Trump to nominate a second conservative justice to the Supreme Court. Anti-abortion advocates are expected to pursue more cases if the court leans right.
Emboldened by the Trump administration, anti-abortion advocates have been gearing up to potentially move to overturn Roe v. Wade.
Trump said he will immediately begin his search for Kennedy's replacement.

F em. Im more afraid that one of our conservative Justices will be Scalia’d” aka murdered.
How in the world can you view the appointment of a strict Constitutional Justice as a ‘disaster” for anyone, much less any American Citizen?
LOL

Just get your abortions before the law changes. Then you will be ok.
Thanks for sharing that with “We the People” Jeffy. You can go back to pondering your genitals now.
Sounds more like a victory for the constitution!
If anyone hasn’t figured it out yet, the SCOTUS was the real reason for Mueller’s Russki “collusion” fiasco. It has become more obvious now.
More stuff coming in July that won’t be good for Democrats LOL
There.
Fixed it.
How the hell do they think we felt living through the Warren Court-——payback is a b****,guys
.
How about a heartfelt thank you for your service ?
The law never outlawed abortion; Just the compulsion to force all taxpayers with real jobs to pay for them.
The Dems screwed themselves in filbustering Gorsuch.
The DUmmies are in a complete meltdown over this...
14. Kill me now, just kill me now. :(

Life is good.
They can suck on it.
They were going to railroad us with their leftist judiciary, leftist courts, financed with money from various Soros Open Society organizations, all buttressed by the Democrats changing the rules on judicial nominations and approvals, and there wasn’t a thing we were going to be able to do about it.
Then Trump happened, and that blew up in their faces like an exploding cigar.
Now the tables are turned. The rules to nominate and approve are not controlled by their hands, and they are whining about how unfair it is, even when they were warned in good faith by Republicans not to change them, because they wouldn’t be in power forever, and they could be used against them.
But, with glee...they DID change them.
I hope to God we pack the courts, as unfairly as possible, until they choke on their own rage and frustration at the “unfairness” of it.
God, I am so sick of Leftism, and it is so good to see them trampled by their own misdeeds.
