U.S. Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy, a moderate conservative and often decisive vote, was hospitalized for a stent procedure after experiencing mild chest pains, a court spokeswoman said on Tuesday. Spokeswoman Kathy Arberg said Kennedy, 70, underwent "a routine procedure" at Washington Hospital Center on September 2. "This was a revision to a stent procedure performed in November 2005," she said in a brief statement.
Arberg said there was no evidence of any heart damage. She said Kennedy was discharged from the hospital on Sunday morning and had returned to his duties at the court, which is currently in recess.
Kennedy often casts the decisive vote on the nine-member court that is deeply divided with four liberal justices and four conservatives. He has become the key swing vote after the retirement early in the year of Justice Sandra Day O'Connor.

It a Rooters piece. There are only four political orientations: Moderate, Moderate-Conservative, Conservative and Ultra-Conservative. You'll notice that places Stevens, Ruth Buzzi and Gindburg in the Moderate camp, just where the MSM wants the folks to think that's where they rule.

Kennedy is a moderate conservative? He is generally better than O'Conner was.
To: David1
Now that is an interesting thought.

I will have to take your word for it, I always lined him up with the lefties. I was never very impressed with O'Connor, and usually lumped her in with the left also. That way when she did something sensible I would be pleasantly surprised. :O)

"U.S. Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy, a moderate conservative and often decisive vote" Center-Right would have been more appropriate.
