But it is unlikely that Kennedy will remain on the court for the full four years of the Trump presidency. While he long ago hired his law clerks for the coming term, he has not done so for the following term (beginning Oct. 2018), and has let applicants for those positions know he is considering retirement.

That articie is from July 2017, and Kennedy did hire one law clerk for 2018. However, retired Scotus justices are allowed to have one clerk.

I have an even better scenario — Ruth Bader Ginzburg’s long overdue departure from this world.

Sorry if that offends anyone, but from now on the only good Leftist is a dead Leftist.

Thought I had responded to this, but that would be great, and good solid reasoning there. Thanks.
