He’s been voting on the correct side lately... losing him now could be a problem since the senate will take forever to confirm a replacement.
But they just concluded their year.
Surely Trump had a heads up and he should be ready to roll with his nominee.
Let’s hope it’s a good one—I am guessing it will be.

Exactly right. Astute comment.
I don’t think the Dems can drag it on forever, or even until the end of Trump’s term. Kennedy has been getting more conservstce lately and I think he retired now in hopes that somebody - if not supernconservative, at least to the right side of “moderate” - could be appointed.
I think the USSC has adjourned for the session anyway. He may not retire until his replacement is confirmed at any rate. Not sure of the details.
