These appointments are critical and Trump is the right person to make these appointments.
I’ll believe it when it happens. If Kennedy retires, the Left will blame him for handing the Court to the Right, and he would face intense hatred,along with his family. Especially when the democrats think they might have a chance of taking the Senate in November.
Note to Republicans, don’t count your justices before they hatch.
And if Ginsberg would just freakin retire or die, then Trump could change the face of this country for 2 generations at least.
Woo Hoo!
Too bad that Mad Max doesn’t want to impeach Roberts...
Please God, make Kennedy retire - SOON!!
Ruth Bader Buzzardbird, a bitter kale clinger.
No! Tilt the SC toward Constitutionalists!
We need it since we really can’t rely on John Roberts until his kids are old enough that they can’t be sent back to where they were smuggled into the US from,Central America and Ireland.Chances are good he’s been blackmailed ever since he decided that obmacare was a tax.
Except for his homophilic and pro-death obsessions, Kennedy has been fairly conservative.
I hate to break it to you, but this Senate is going to demand any replacement be pro-LGBT and pro-abortion. There are not 50 votes to confirm what we all want.
So. I hope Kennedy stays until after January, when we SHOULD have at least 5 more favorable Senators to confirm a good replacement.
While this is all well and good, I’m looking forward to the day when Roberts “surprisingly” announces that he is stepping down (IOW, Trump presents him with proof that he was blackmailed by Obama and allows him the opportunity to gracefully fall on his own sword rather than publicly exposing and embarrassing him.)
Yes, it would be a slight tilt to the right. Kennedy is always a mugwump - has is mug on one side and his wump on the other. I think he is actually THE judge without a legal-philosophy anchor at all, and seems to vote with whom he thinks is “the majority” view, which in some cases is to the left and some to the right. It has given him the public relations press view that he is a moderate. Like I said, I don’t think he is a true moderate, he just does not have an anchor of principles in his legal thinking, and shifts to which ever way he thinks the wind is blowing.
John Paul Stevens should have retired earlier, under Bush. Then we might have had a right-leaning court through Obama’s term, Obamacare would have been struck down and the states would have their own marriage laws.
