http://www.cnn.com/2017/06/24/politics/anthony-kennedy-retirement-rumors/index.htmlWashington (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.
