New York Times editorial board begs Justice Kennedy not to retire
The Washington Times ^ | April 29, 2018 | Valerie Richardson

Posted on 04/29/2018 1:27:11 PM PDT by jazusamo

The New York Times never discouraged U.S. Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy from retiring during the Obama administration, but the newspaper’s editorial board is now literally begging him to stick around.

Headlined “Please Stay, Justice Kennedy,” the open letter in Saturday’s edition implored him to remain on the high court amid rumors of his retirement, saying “[y]our departure right now from the Supreme Court would have dire consequences for the country.”

Why? If Mr. Kennedy leaves, his seat would be filled by President Trump, which would mean “the court will have a locked-in right-wing majority for the rest of most of our lifetimes. They [Republicans] won’t even have to steal a seat to do it.”

Only Republicans steal SCOTUS seats.

Democrats win them fair and square.

So much for their lie about the courts being objective.

A liberal court is hardly objective.

Scalia did not die.
He was murdered.

Does it really matter whether he retires and President Trump appoints another SC Justice? Whoever he gets to replace any of the fossils controlling our lives will eventually stab Conservatives in the back.

Little Johnny Roberts has repeatedly sided with the liberals on DeathCare. Now Neil Gorsuch sided with the Liberals on immigration. So who cares?

Great point. It was disgusting. Furthermore, irregardless of the ideological slant of a justice, extreme old age has a detrimental effect on decision making. Sticking around is pathetic and does a disservice to America.

It sure is and though I wish no one that it’d be nice to see them go to enjoy their remaining days.

Yes, I agree with that.

Still, when 330 million people will have to live with their disgusting rulings, it is hard to fault mother nature when their end comes.

mother nature -> poetic terms
