Justice Anthony Kennedy Won't Retire Until Barack Obama No Longer President

Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- Justice Anthony Kennedy apparently has told close friends he will not retire from the Supreme Court until pro-abortion Barack Obama is no longer president. Although Kennedy is not supportive of overturning Roe v. Wade, pro-life advocates hope to replace him with a justice who will reverse it.

Kennedy is considered the swing vote on the high court when it comes to abortion as he went along with the four conservative jurists in upholding the national ban on partial-birth abortions.

However, Kennedy has sided with the four pro-abortion members of the court on the matter of Roe itself, the 1973 Supreme Court case that has resulted in more than 52 million abortions.

Today, the New York Daily News reports Kennedy has told friends, family and close associates he plans to stay on the Supreme Court through at least the end of Obama's term with the hopes he will be replaced by a Republican president

Kennedy turns 74 this month and he has spent 22 years on the Supreme Court, but reportedly doesn't want to see that legacy undone by a liberal justice.

Under Obama, the Supreme Court has already seen the addition of Sonia Sotomayor, an abortion advocate who is currently in the pro-abortion alliance of justices.

Now, the Senate is currently considering the nomination of Elena Kagan, Obama's pro-abortion Solicitor General who has been criticized for helping President Bill Clinton keep partial-birth abortions legal longer. Ref. Source 1
