Now, NBC News pundit and MSNBC host Christopher Hayes has announced there’s a strong chance Justice Antony Kennedy will retire on Monday. A liberal, Hayes believes the moves is the end of Roe v. Wade, the disasterous pro-abortion Supreme Court Case:
Trump campaign insider Roger Stone confirmed that he’s hearing the rumors, too:

” Mike Cernovich “
we could adjust his first name to Mikhal
for the record his family name roughly translates as Blackie or Son of Blackie
LOL
We may get another originalist no thanks to NeverTrumpers...
this is big...we have a chance to replace a half ass conservative with a real one!!!
This doesn’t even have anonymous source attached to it. The sentence he used could have applied to any of 9 Justices. They all have a chance of stepping down on Monday.
Only the good die young!!!
The liberal justices reflect the liberal democrats...old and living in their antiquated heyday!!!
Difference is the dems have no power....we only have to be concerned with the rino republicans!!!
I can actually see having a part of the energy department remain - in charge of setting standards and enforcing them for nuclear power. This would be a sidebar under the defense/national security authorized area, as nuclear has potential immediate and long-term welfare of the nation consequences.
I absolutely agree with your list, otherwise.
Like with anything by Kennedy, flip a coin.
Agreed. Most that will happen is that it will go back to the states.
Fortunately for us liberty-loving Americans, the Left will -- yet again -- fail ... but this to me is clearly the cause of their abject desperation The preservation of the Left's last remaining stronghold in American government.
Should the Dems win the WH and Congress in the future don’t look for SCOTUS to stop them. Congress can increase ther number of judges on SCOTUS. Even though FDR’s court packing failed, the public is not as unwilling to ignore tradition as in the ‘30s.
Will Trump’s senate majority remain after 2018? Critical to getting a conservative justice confirmed.
Thomas is 68. He’s got another 12-15 years on the bench. And you will never get someone confirmed as a rock solid constitutional as him. I’d rather stick with Thomas for 10-15 years then roll the dice on a Roberts, or worse, a Souter, who would give us 30 years of pain.
Oh yes please may it happen
Yea, thanks. I agree...even as far as I went, we do need government to keep an eye on the nuke plants. I want the operators to understand that if they intentionally risk large nuclear spills, people will go to jail. Otherwise, require them to all get insurance for worst-case accidents...which then would quickly shut them down.
FR had a thread on this topic earlier this week; supposedly the inside dope was that after Gorsuch was approved, Kennedy was set to retire - but then changed his mind after the firing of Comey. The rationale being that the SC might need to join the impending fray (why he would feel the need to participate was unclear).

Mike Cernovich is reporting a twitter rumor that Kennedy will retire next week. But it seems to me he would want to be in on the travel ban decision.
“The Russians did it” will pale into insignificance when President Trump nominates a Conservative, in fact, from the moment Kennedy retires.
