Kennedy, 80, has talked with former law clerks and others about retirement, according to a story by CNN. The New York Times has reported that the Trump administration is already looking at its next nominee should Kennedy decide to leave the Court.

Kennedy has been considered the swing vote among the nine justices for many years. With four strong conservatives Samuel Alito, Clarence Thomas, John Roberts and the late Antonin Scalia and four equally strident liberals Elena Kagan, Sonia Sotomayor, Stephen Breyer, Ruth Bader Ginsburg it often fell to the moderate Kennedy to cast a deciding vote on a case.

can we get Roberts out too at the same time? :)
Roberts is already “out”......oh you arent talking about closets. ...
The so-called “moderate Kennedy” gave us some of the most horrific and evil leftist judgments of the past century.
Justice Thomas is also getting there in years.
If he’s going to retire, sooner would be better than later.
And Ruthie B.G. will fall to the floor in her robes very soon too. Would being comatose disqualify her from serving?
I’d be happy with a demotion.
Replace a breyer or Constitution-hater or wise-latina or obamacare-cheerleader with a new Chief Justice, while Roberts goes to the back-bench.
It’s a “white male” seat so that would be good for us.
I wish
She’s a globalist Free Traitor. Yuk.
Ruth Buzzi please.
Must be why FoxBiz won’t cancel her pitiful show. I wonder what her viewership is.
Not that I’m a fan of Kennedy, but I’d rather see Ginsburg and/or Breyer leave.
Time to undo this awful legacy of the Bork character assassination. Let’s do what Reagan should have done and put a real conservative in that seat.
Ol’ Teddy sure knew what he was doing when he decided to bork Bork.
Would being comatose disqualify her from serving?
That would be a distinction without a difference..............
