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.

It’s like a bullet through the heart of the Communist Manifesto eh, Mr. Merkley? Bwaaaahaha
DU is going nuts.
“”””The second Putin stole the election for Cheeto, I knew Tony the Two-Timer would find an excuse to retire.
Get ready for fascist theocracy, folks.””””””
Yep. Now prohibition will be brought back, women will lose the vote and slavery will be legal again!
Let's treat her to a taco feast and see how she fares.
That's about how the Left will portray this.
They showed their hand. They SHOWED us what they intended to do to us.
They were already dancing on the graves of conservatives. But like the stupid evil characters in a movie...they got caught monologuing.
I am not going to dance on the grave of their ideology, because I know that Leftism will not be eradicated in my life.
But I am going to take satisfaction in it, and ensure as much is done as possible to pile enough dirt on the grave of Leftism that it will take them a long, long time to dig out of it.
And I will sit on top of that pile of dirt every day, as we pile more of it on, as much as we can, and have, in your words, a nice cold beer.
Have they checked to see if Ruth is still snoring?
It’s a disaster for “We the communists”.
Yeah, we will probably get a conservative justice who understands that the primary purpose of the Constitution was to keep government off the backs of “We the People.” Damn, liberals are stupid!
God, I am so sick of Leftism,
Me too rlmorel, it is ungodly.
And continue to pray for America.

LOL. I’ve heard that joke about an aspirin being birth control, but you have to hold it between your knees.
Where Sandra fluke nowadays, how is her birth control situation going?
Innocent little preborn babies are people.
Thanks, that is one of the greatest DU meltdown threads ever.
“F em. Im more afraid that one of our conservative Justices will be Scalia’d” aka murdered.”
This is to you and any SS or FBI agents who may be monitoring this forum:
Sen. Merkley’s reaction is a mild joke compared that which will be forthcoming from the massive horde of totally radicalized DemonRats at this announcement. Right now many of them have come fanatically, passionately to believe the “Scalise Solution,” assassination, is their only hope to keep our PRESIDENT Trump from carrying out his mission to save the United States. Thus, you can confidently expect one or more well-planned attempted assassinations to be carried out by radical DemonRats. Please do all in your power to protect our PRESIDENT Trump from those attempts. I’ve deliberately used the word, “assassination” to attract your attention and assure the greatest possible protectiion for our PRESIDENT Trump. We are in a truly dangerous time.
You owe me a new laptop, LOL!
With double the lard and twice the cholesterol!

Did BHO really say "I trump you"? That would deliiously ironic. I have heard the first sentence many times, but not the second.
That is amusing
