Anthony Kennedy retirement watch at a fever pitch
CNN ^ | June 24, 2017 | Ariane de Vogue

Posted on 06/24/2017 11:31:23 AM PDT by Innovative

Justice Anthony Kennedy, the man who so often determines the outcome of the most controversial Supreme Court cases, is himself the center of brewing speculation. Will he stay or will he go?

The rumors have swirled for months and the 80-year-old justice has done nothing either personally or though intermediaries to set the record straight on whether he will step down.

I am glad he hung in there this long, so Trump can name his replacement.

He should wait until the very last day and say, “No, I’m not stepping down yet... Na na na na na!”

Can The Swinger invite along best buds gargoyle Ruthie and baldy gelding Breyer to the exit party too? Retire one and get two extra for free(dom).

The liberals will have a meltdown if he retires.

The reaction will be more heated than the Gorsuch nomination because replacing Kennedy would tip the balance of the court.

While liberals were outraged about Gorsuch, he replaced Scalia, so all that happened was to replace a conservative with another conservative. But replacing the iffy Kennedy with a conservative will tip the balance away from liberalism.

Anonymous sources are saying Russia is blackmailing Kennedy.

Russia wants a strong America that will stand up to them.

(...so this is what if feels like to be MSNBC)

Through the Lord Sri Kek’s grace, may Ginsburg, just “Drop dead, already”.

Are there any conservative judges on Trump’s list that has a Russian sounding last name for him to nominate? LIEberal media talking heads would implode.

If those three left and were replaced with Scalia or Thomas types that would be some real winning.

I’m not believing Kennedy wants to miss out on ruling on the travel ban.

Time for Putin to publish his list of potential nominees.

Lets hope that after being beaten and battered by the Democrats (RE: Russian collusion, etc.) that he won't appoint a more liberal justice to appease the Left "to be fair."

If the unwise Latina, (head supervisor of hotel housekeeping) and Mama Cass, Jr. would also exit stage left, then I would collapse with holy joy.

My bet is that Kennedy will retire next summer (2018) and that Thomas will retire the summer after that (2019). Neither will want to take the risk that a Democrat will be elected President in 2020 and that they will have to stay another 4 to 8 years.

Ginsburg and Breyer will not leave while Trump is President unless they leave feet first.
