Here are the statements from the justices of the Supreme Court—released by the court’s press office—about the retirement of Anthony Kennedy:

➤➤ Chief Justice John G. Roberts, Jr.: “Justice Anthony Kennedy served the country he loved for 43 years in the Judicial Branch—30 as a member of this court. His jurisprudence prominently features an abiding commitment to liberty and the personal dignity of every person. Justice Kennedy taught collegiality and civil discourse by example. He brought his wise counsel outside the courthouse and around the world through teaching, lectures, and discussions focused on the rule of law and the necessity of civic engagement. An individual of unquestioned independence and integrity, he is equally comfortable discussing the Greek philosophers or telling tales of Old Sacramento. His wife Mary is a treasured member of the court family—warm, vibrant, and discerning. I look forward to seeing much of both of them in the years ahead.”
