Anthony Kennedy retiring from Supreme Court
2018-06-27
Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy will retire from the highest U.S. court, giving President Donald Trump another chance to fundamentally reshape the top of the judiciary.

In a letter to Trump dated Wednesday, Kennedy said he would step down.

"For a member of the legal profession, it is the highest of honors to serve on this Court," he wrote. "Please permit me by this letter to express my profound gratitude for having had the privilege to seek in each case how best to know, interpret and defend the Constitution and the laws that must always conform to its mandates and promises.

#21  To crush your enemies. See them driven before you. And to hear the lamentations of their women.

#20  Trump should nominate himself as Supreme Court Justice, at least on Twitter. It would be fun to watch as the leftist try to deal with that.

#19  #18 The Left is losing their sh*t. Imagine how they'll react when RBG and/or Sotomayor keel over.

OR Breyer, OR Kagen. They vote as a brain-dead dissent-free bloc. Biggest joke for "Judicial Review"

I had a similar thought. It could easily be a trifecta.

#16  How about this: Trump announces he'll wait until the midterms.

I wonder how many Dems would go into cardiac arrest?

#15  The pansy commenters at Fark are in complete meltdown mode!

If Trump has a senzayuma, he ought to tweet that he's going to nominate Jeanine Pirro, but only if she changes her name to Adolph first.

#11  I also like Cruz but then we would have to replace him. I just don't know who would filled his shoes best.

I still like Cruz for AG.

#8 Frank G,
Loretta L on the Supreme Court!!! Had she gotten on there.... I don't even want to consider such a situation. Too upsetting. The perpetual motion machine, ie her jaw muscles, would certainly slow down the deliberation process and there would be no surprises here as to her voting.
Boy did we dodge a bullet. About a 16 incher from the BB Iowa. Now the sweep up will continue. I wonder if the self-appointed savior of the known universe will comment?

Don't be silly. Gowdy is owned, he needs to move on.
