Washington (CNN) — Justice Anthony Kennedy, the man who so often determines the outcome of the most controversial Supreme Court cases, is himself the center of brewing speculation.

Will he stay or will he go?

The rumors have swirled for months and the 80-year-old justice has done nothing either personally or though intermediaries to set the record straight on whether he will step down.

Sources close to Kennedy say that he is seriously considering retirement, but they are unclear if it could occur as early as this term.

His departure would cause a seismic shift and offer President Donald Trump a chance to continue reshaping the court. Trump's first nominee -- Justice Neil Gorsuch, himself a former Kennedy clerk -- joined the court earlier this year.

Maybe he'll go hunting with Dick Cheney.


I assume that Dick still "hunts" . . . .
 
It's just a matter of time until Ruth Bader Ginsburg retires.

That would be Trump SCOTUS pick # 3.



I think she's made a pact with the devil to live forever.


I'd rather see her stay and Sotomayor or Kagan "retire ' . . . .
 
A President should not be allowed to appoint Supreme Court justices in his final year in office.
 
Bladders are about to explode on the left. There won't be an unsoiled safe space if Kennedy retires and Buzzy finally gives way to common sense and announces her retirement.
 
Whoever goes first, expect a gigantic stonewall and shit fit from the Left no matter who Trump nominates.

Redneck Translation: FroDOH! is of the mind that impeachment is around the corner, because all of the news entertainment that he consumes assure him that it is fact in exactly that same way the informed him that Hillary was going to win in a landslide...

:eek:
 
I haven't watched 700 Club in a while, I wonder of Pat Robertson is praying for god to remove him.

You mean like the Republicans did with Garland?
Say it isn't so! :eek:

The refusal to go forward on Garland's nomination had supporting precedent behind the denial to hold confirmation hearings. It was perfectly legal and appropriate for the Senate to do as they did under that precedent and the Senate rules.

You can claim it was partisan, but you'd be remiss if you also failed (as you usually do) to include all the times in history similar events took place by either party.

It's politics. It's what BOTH parties do. It's what they've ALWAYS done. Stop trying to be the "offended victim" over every little thing just because you don't like those on the other side of the aisle. The whole act is unbecoming.
