Klobuchar Statement on the Retirement Announcement of Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens
April 9, 2010
Washington, D.C. – Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) released the following statement after senior Associate Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens announced he will retire.
“Justice Stevens leaves a large and distinguished robe to fill. Although he will be best remembered for his nearly 35 years on the Supreme Court, we also honor his service in the Navy during World War II. Our country owes Justice Stevens a debt of gratitude for his public service in all capacities. He is truly a member of the ‘Greatest Generation.’
“As a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, I look forward to considering the President’s nominee to be the next Supreme Court justice and I hope we will have a productive and civil exchange about that nomination.”
Klobuchar is a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee and served as Hennepin County Attorney before being elected to the U.S. Senate in 2006.
