Justice Kennedy to retire, Trump can solidify court's majority conservative bloc
The president is likely to nominate someone more conservative than Kennedy, a swing vote who has sometimes sided with liberals on key opinions, including on the landmark ruling that legalized gay marriage.

Now is the time for all good men and women to come to the aid of the country.
Trump wants to confirm a right wing justice before they lose the majority in Nov.
An "epic" battle is aniticipated over the next few months. We will see how many Republican senators have a shred of decency and honor left in their bodies.
After what they did to Obama, I would say none.
Merrick Garland, a Justice delayed, turned into Justice Denied. Dems must vote 11-6-18...
So this story, less than 2 hours old, already tells you what the Presdient has decided and you are building a plan to block it. Wow, you must have people inside the White House giving you info.
I am not communicating with you until your personal insults towards me get the coc violation designation they deserve. I'm sick of your snide remarks and personal insults that the moderators here let slide. I know a couple other people feel the same way too.
THIS ARTICLE IS CLOSED TO DUE OVERBEARING MODERATION
There are some Republican women in the Senate , they need to step up and oppose any nominee with anti-woman ideologies (aka ending Roe v Wade). It is really gut check time for any republicans with a shred of self respect.
That itty bitty pinch after 2016 has become a full on titty twister now !
OUCH…..huh !
This and the empty seat from the death of Scalia is the reason Trump was elected. And, Hillary's incompetence too.
WooooWeeee. Good shit. You will see the second ruled on within the next year I bet now. And Ginsburg will probably pass within the next few months as well.... im like a diamond in a snow storm
Sounds like the only proper thing to do would be for the Dems and the small handful of ethical GOP senators to block Trump's nominee until after the next President is sworn in. Jeff Flake (R) has said that he might do just that.
Flake can say that all he wants, because in Oct 2017, he announced that he would not seek re-election in 2018.
He can still hold up a vote, as trump wants one immediately, until after the midterms.
that will be Trump...so stupid idea.
Hopefully another Gorsuch.
I've had a lot of issues with Kennedy, but his concurrence in the California case was excellent and a great way to leave.
I'm also having a hard time believing people on the left wouldn't be saying "suck it up buttercup" had Hillary won and changed the court to far left. You know damn well you wouldn't have an issue with that and would be ridiculing the right talking about protests etc....
giggle
You're so right
first kennedy then ginsburg and we will have a full house.
cheers
