Justice Kennedy retiring; Trump gets 2nd Supreme Court pick

WASHINGTON (AP) — Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy say Wednesday he is retiring, giving President Donald Trump the chance to cement conservative control of the high court.

The 81-year-old Kennedy said he is stepping down after more than 30 years on the court. A Republican appointee, he has held the key vote on such high-profile issues as abortion, affirmative action, gay rights, guns, campaign finance and voting rights.

Without him, the court will be split between four liberal justices who were appointed by Democratic presidents and four conservatives who were named by Republicans. Trump’s nominee is likely to give the conservatives a solid majority and will face a Senate process in which Republicans hold the slimmest majority, but Democrats can’t delay confirmation.

Trump’s first high court nominee, Justice Neil Gorsuch, was confirmed in April 2017.

This should kick the eternal tantrum up a couple of notches.
 
Hopefully he picks another person that supports freedom and liberty.
 
Dup thread. Please delete or merge.
 
Just more evidence that this is a dictatorship!
 
Good Deal......The Democrats can use this to fire up their voters come November....
 
Gosh it’s been a good week.
 
This forum is about to go into meltdown mode.

Hopefully he has a massive coronary before the Herritage Foundation picks for him. Hopefully he is impeached and removed from office. Hopefully Democrats obstruct until 2021. There are lots of things to hope for.
 
The rush will be on for Trump to act before the risk of the midterms changing the Senate.

Based on your description. Something tells me you like it.

It's been fairly obvious for a decade now that all that talk about loving the constitution, loving America, loving Democracy, etc., was really all just for show. The thought of making a liberal angry is the key thing here.

Is the “Blue Waive” what Kennedy’s going to do on his way out the door?
