Brown Statement on Retirement of U.S. Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer

WASHINGTON, D.C. - Today, U.S. Senator Sherrod Brown (D-OH) released the following statement on the retirement of U.S. Supreme Court Associate Justice Stephan Breyer.

"Stephen Breyer dedicated his life to serving the American people, and for nearly three decades he was a trusted, thoughtful voice for justice and the equal protection of all Americans on the Supreme Court. He understood that Supreme Court justices serve the public - not powerful special interests - and was unafraid to stand up for the rights of workers and their families. I'm confident President Biden will appoint a justice who will continue that legacy - someone who understands that a commitment to the constitution and to equal justice requires standing up for civil rights and standing up to corporations on behalf of Ohioans and citizens around the country."
