Justice Kennedy May Retire Sometime Around Early Summer

GOP Senator Dean Heller suggested that President Trump may soon have another seat to fill on the Supreme Court.

During a speech last week, the Nevada Senator said Justice Anthony Kennedy is going to retire this summer.

Heller also noted, he believes the appointment of a new Supreme Court Justice would motivate GOP voters in the upcoming midterms.

Though a Reagan-era appointment, Justice Kennedy is considered to be a swing vote in the court and has broken many ties in various key cases.

If the 81-year-old were to step down it would give the president an opportunity to put another Conservative voice in the nation’s highest court for decades to come.    http://www.oann.com/justice-kennedy-may-retire-sometime-around-early-summer-according-to-senator-heller/
