Kennedy, now 89 years old, no longer hears Supreme Court cases. He formally stepped down seven years ago during the first Trump administration. "I loved sitting on the bench," he said.
Asked whether he would want to be there today, he replied, "The only reason I left – I love the Court – but I left for something that I love more, which is my wife, Mary."
…
And as the "swing justice" on the Court, says Greene, Kennedy cast the deciding vote on some of the most consequential political and cultural issues of his era: the 2000 Presidential election, gun ownership, abortion rights, and same-sex marriage.

It’s hard to believe what this country would have looked like had Bork been nominated to the Court instead of Kennedy. Trajectory is everything.
As long as you have Democrats in positions of power, personal freedoms are at risk.
Democrats fear personal freedoms, only the group,
their group should be free.
Everyone else is an enemy to be enslaved.
Kennedy has a lot to answer for.
As a reminder, Kennedy was the lynchpin in all four of the cases which gave unprecedented power to the Gaystapo:
Romer v. Evans (1996)
Lawrence v. Texas (2003)
United States v. Windsor (2013)
Obergefell v. Hodges (2015)
This arrogant snot, from the cesspool of a man that gave us Obergefell and officially redefined GOD’s sacred covenant of marriage.
Yep. It amazes me how often second appointments to a position are complete capitulations. It’s like a tennis player who blows a first serve and then drops a little lollipop in after that.
Then again, it’s what helped us at least get Alito from W.
Supreme Court Issues Decision In Religious Freedom Case.
The U.S. Supreme Court has unanimously decided in favor of a postal worker from Pennsylvania in a significant religious liberty case involving the appropriateness of employers’ accommodation of religious preferences in the workplace.
It’s hard to believe this kind of banal, meaningless sh!t could be written by someone older than the age of nine.
“...At the heart of liberty is the right to define one’s own concept of existence...”
Every convicted murderer and criminal says the same thing. /spit
I believe one of Trump’s first term appeals court judges accurately referred to kennedy as a ‘judicial prostitute.’
He sold his soul for accolades from human leftists, and that is all the reward he will receive for what he has ‘decided’... and someday he will meet the true Judge of the Universe.
Obergefell v. Hodges (2015) needs to be revisited and reversed like Roe.
We should go much further than reversing Obergefell. We were promised a Marriage Amendment to the Constitution if the courts “got out of hand” on this issue. It’s time to cash in on this promise.
If Bork had been appointed, he died in 2012 so Obama would have nominated instead of Trump when Kennedy retired. It worked out.
2/3rd of Congress? Impossible!
It’s hard to make conjectures on what-if’s, but it is possible that Bork may have lived longer with a Supreme Court trajectory. But it is more certain that he wouldn’t have capitulated to the left on Romer or Lawrence if he had been on the Seat. If he had lived a bit longer, he would have been the winning vote on marriage in Windsor and Obergefell, which were 5-4 cases, if those two cases had even been possible after earlier court victories.
If Bork had made it to SCOTUS, perhaps Thomas wouldn’t have known to prepare for the high-tech lynching that Biden put Thomas through.
From the guy who gave us gay marriages, not based on law, but because he had a gay friend.
I love a SCOTUS that has no problem confronting bad precedent.
Impossible? Good! Then that established the level of campaigning we have to do. We can call out the promises of all the congresscritters who made this promise.
If the left could do the unthinkable to redefining marriage into something it has never been, then we have to have the same impossible goal.
