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:

the libs are going to go nutty.
Give TRUMP a surely needed BOOST!
Roe v Wade isn’t going to be altered in any meaningful way IMO, but PLEASE let this news be true. Then let RBG retire next.
And, as much as I love him, if Judge Thomas wants to step down, we will have a conservative majority Supreme Court for decades to come.
Retiring U.S. Supreme Court justices are entitled to a lifetime pension equal to their highest full salary. In order to qualify for a full pension, retiring justices must have served for a minimum of 10 years provided the sum of the justice’s age and years of Supreme Court service totals 80.

Remember that when GOPe starts going “Trump's nomination is too conservative to replace a liberal justice.”
Someone I know is hearing that ginsberg likely on the way out...as in won’t last another 12 months and probably much shorter than that
But she is a tough old bird...
Ginsburg, Breyer, Sotomayor, and Kagan will never retire.....they will hold on until they expire in office.
Ginsburg will retire or die in office in the next 8 years. She is 86. Bryer is 80 next year. He will be replaced during Trump's term.
Why all the lamentations by the libs? Can't they count? Don't they know what is coming?
“retiring justices must have served for a minimum of 10 years provided the sum of the justice’s age and years of Supreme Court service totals 80.”
Arghhhhhh. Still 7-1/2 years to go before Roberts can go.
Now they’re just making $hit up without even trying to give it a source.
I like you math and logic, if Trump is reelected. I hope most of it can happen this term, just to be safe.
The courts, Common Core (K-12 indoctrination), illegal invasion, and 0bamacare are where the rubber meets the road, in my opinion.
The Four Horsemen, so to speak.
We should all be fighting like there’s no tomorrow.
“Why all the lamentations by the libs? Can’t they count? Don’t they know what is coming? “
Even more than conservatives, the liberals know EXACTLY what can come from a Supreme Court that actually reads the Constitution, and they are scared to death of it.
For us, we see Sodomy, Kelo, and Roe as big issues. But if the Court is populated with conservatives that actually follow the Constitution, then everything short of national security and the functioning of the Judicial Branch become fair game, since there is no Constitutional Authority - they all could be eliminated TOMORROW. This includes:
1) The Humanities
2) The Arts
3) NPR and PBS
4) Obamacare
Oh year, a few more:
1) Education Department
2) EPA
3) Energy Department (non-defense related)
Starting to get the picture. Oh, almost forgot a couple of minor ones:
1) Medicaid funding
2) Medicare
3) Social Security
The list above shrinks government by about 75-80%. If people really want those back, they simply need pass Constitutional Amendments to authorize them.
‘disasterous?’
Trump NEEDS to be VERY CAREFUL and get lots of input on picking this justice we definitely can’t afford to end up with ANOTHER Roberts, he NEEDS to meet and get advice from the Heritage foundation AND ALL of the MANY pastors that have supported him!!! NO MISTAKES on this pick!!!!
Breyer is no spring chicken either (78).
Change the news narrative, it will.
If he sticks to his list it will be fine. Dianne Sykes seems like a good choice. She’s already thrown out one law at the appeals level as a violation of the Second Amendment. That’s enough for me.
“Now they’re just making $hit up without even trying to give it a source.”
That’s been going on for a long time, but in earnest for about a year now. “An anonymous source” means “reached behind me and pulled it out of my a$$”.
