Washington, D.C. – Today, Senator Casey released the following statement on the retirement of Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer:
“Justice Stephen Breyer has devoted his life to making our Nation a fairer and better place for all Americans. Pragmatic in his decision-making, he worked to build consensus among the Court while standing up for what he believed was right, including protecting Americans’ access to health care through the Affordable Care Act. I thank him for his nearly three decades of service on the Supreme Court and wish him well in his retirement.
“Our Nation is better off when our institutions represent the diversity of the American people. I’m encouraged that President Biden has reaffirmed his commitment to nominate a Black woman to the Supreme Court and I look forward to meeting with his nominee.”
