The 81-year-old Kennedy said he is stepping down after more than 30 years on the court. A Republican appointee, he has held the key vote on such high-profile issues as abortion, affirmative action, gay rights, guns, campaign finance and voting rights.

LIBERAL MELTDOWN OVER JUSTICE KENNEDY RETIREMENT
The Daily Caller ^ | June 27,2018 | AMBER ATHEY
Posted on 6/27/2018, 2:55:16 PM by Hojczyk
Liberal activists and journalists are melting down over Justice Anthony Kennedy announcing his retirement from the Supreme Court on Wednesday.
Progressives immediately reacted to Kennedy’s retirement with fear, anger, and sadness.
Reverend Al Sharpton ✔ @TheRevAl We have no choice but to organize, strategize, vote and act. Ambivalent attitudes are not a option! All civil and human rights are at stake. What side are you on? https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/supreme-court/justice-kennedy-retire-trump-can-solidify-court-s-majority-conservative-n887066

A senior White House official says President Trump will push for the swift confirmation of a Supreme Court justice "before the midterm elections."
A list of well-established conservatives is in place, so a nomination is expected to come "within weeks," the official said.

Audio reveals DNC committee reaction to Kennedy retirement: 'This is not good news'
The Hill ^ | 06/27/18 | Avery Anapol
Posted on 6/27/2018, 3:56:15 PM by yesthatjallen
Audio taken during a Democratic National Committee (DNC) Rules Committee conference call reveals the immediate reaction to the news Wednesday of Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy’s retirement.
In the audio clip shared on Twitter by Politico reporter David Siders, Democrats on the call express disappointment that Kennedy, a moderate conservative justice known for often being a swing vote, would be retiring.
After one participant reads the news aloud, cries of “oh,” and “oh my god” can be heard. The audio was taken during a public conference call on superdelegate reform.
“This is not good news,” one person says.
Another attendee points to Kennedy’s status as the court’s swing vote, but pointed out that he sided with the conservative majority in several recent rulings, including the decision to uphold President Trump’s travel ban.
“Not that he’s done us any good on these recent decisions, but he was the one that was usually persuadable,” the attendee says in the clip.
Kennedy’s departure opens the door for Trump to make his second Supreme Court nomination. Democrats have already expressed concern that whoever Trump appoints will swing the court farther to the right, and clear a path for anti-abortion advocates and other conservative movements to bring more cases.

Dem senator: Justice Kennedy's resignation a 'disaster' for vision of 'We the People'
The Hill ^ | 06/27/18 | Avery Anapol
Posted on 6/27/2018, 3:23:00 PM by yesthatjallen
Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.) on Wednesday lamented the retirement of Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy as “a disaster” for “We the People.”
The 81-year-old Kennedy, an appointee of former President Ronald Reagan's, who has long been considered a “swing vote” on the court, announced his retirement on Wednesday.
“This is a disaster for everyone who believes in the 'We the People' vision of the Constitution,” Merkley tweeted.
In a follow-up tweet, Merkley noted that he was “worried” about the standing of Roe v. Wade, the landmark Supreme Court decision that legalized abortion.
Kennedy’s retirement opens the door for President Trump to nominate a second conservative justice to the Supreme Court. Anti-abortion advocates are expected to pursue more cases if the court leans right.
Emboldened by the Trump administration, anti-abortion advocates have been gearing up to potentially move to overturn Roe v. Wade.
Trump said he will immediately begin his search for Kennedy's replacement.

Gisburg and Breyer are the 2 oldest justices and will both be north of 80 this year.
A 2 term Trump likely replaces them. 7-2.
Sotomayor is 64 but with health concerns. Brother Thomas would likely be retired and replaced as well.
Another term of President Tom Cotton or Nikki Haley and we could be looking at a potential 8-1
Longshot but possible.

The Democrat Meltdown Over the Supreme Court Vacancy Gets Off to a Rollicking Start
DB Daily Update ^ | David Blackmon
Posted on 6/28/2018, 8:07:02 AM by EyesOfTX
Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends)
Tired of all this Winning yet? Part I – With Justice Anthony Kennedy announcing his long-anticipated retirement from Supreme Court on Wednesday, it was just like Election Night 2016 over at CNN. Check out these looooooooonnnnnng faces:
Just charming, aren’t they?
Tired of all this Winning yet? Part II – Oh, but it got even better over on Twitter (because liberal outrage and angst is always better on Twitter), with SJWs and snowflakes wailing out their innermost feelings in 280 characters or less. Here are a couple of examples:
Matthew K. @mattiek17 Literally in tears. Haven’t felt this hopeless in a long time. With Justice Kennedy leaving, we now have two options as Americans: get fitted for your Nazi uniform or report directly to your death camp. How do you fight the darkness without light? My spark is going out. #SCOTUS
2:09 PM - Jun 27, 2018 1,289
And this:
Molly Knight ✔ @molly_knight How very cool of Justice Kennedy to pour kerosene on the current dumpster fire that is America. The Roe v Wade riots should provide fine entertainment for him in his retirement.
1:27 PM - Jun 27, 2018 6,918
Yes, because this 81 year-old man had an obligation to keep working to make sure helpless snowflakes like Molly Knight wouldn’t have meltdowns on Twitter. My goodness.
There were many more examples of liberal depravity and dementia in the wake of Kennedy’s announcement, but they pretty much all involve the “F” word or explicit references to male and female body parts, so I won’t quote them here.
Note that Ms. Knight is already promising riots over this change in a single Supreme Court justice. She was far from alone. Former Democratic Rep. Donna Edwards (Md.) told the execrable Nicole Wallace on MSNBC that “It’s time for Democrats to throw down, and what I mean by that is we’ve been playing by the rule book, and Donald Trump and Republicans have been playing by street rules,” Edwards said. “We need to play by street rules.”
Oh, hey, everyone, what we’ve been seeing from the lunatic Democrats the last 20 months is them “playing by the rule book.” Of course, Ms. Edwards left out that it’s the Saul Alinsky Rules for Radicals rulebook, but I’m sure she just ran out of time.
Then there’s Angela Rye, who is some sort of “analyst” for last-place CNN. Her advice to Democrats went like this: “They have to raise hell,” Rye said. “I said it kind of—whatever, but I mean, like, seriously. This is a decision that doesn’t just impact our lives next year or the next two years.” Man, is that some serious analysis, or what?
Not to be outdone, alleged serial woman harasser Chris Matthews (how does this guy still have his job?) told his audience that the nomination fight over Kennedy’s vacant seat is a “time for vengeance” for Democrats. See? This is the Democrats and their fake media guardians, playing by that “rule book.”
While the Democrats were actually relieved that Kennedy’s announced now gives them an excuse to quit talking about the fake “don’t separate the families!” border issue that is killing them in the polls, the truth is that the politics of this situation are equally horrible for them, really as bad as they could possibly be. Even though craven RINOs like Susan Collins and Jeff Flake are already scurrying out of the woodwork promising to use the nominating process to satisfy personal grudges with President Trump, the fact of the matter is that the Democrats don’t control a single lever of power in this process – they have no means whatsoever of stopping it.
For that, they have their own ex-Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid to thank, because it was Reid who decided to go down the road of eliminating the filibuster rule on judicial nominations. Too bad, so sad, as my kids used to say.
To make matters even worse, the Democrats in this mid-term election year have at minimum 8 incumbent senators from states won by Donald Trump in 2016 who are in serious jeopardy of losing their bids to retain their seats. The vote on Kennedy’s replacement will in all likelihood come at some point in October, bare weeks before Election Day.
Think of the fix in which this places Democrat senators like North Dakota’s Heidi Heitkamp, Montana’s Jon Tester, Missouri’s Claire McCaskill, Florida’s Bill Nelson, and West Virginia’s Joe Manchin. They and other vulnerable Dems are going to be placed under severe pressure by the Party’s far-left voter base and Majority Leader Chuck Schumer to march in lockstep (because marching in lockstep is what good little fascists are best at) with the rest of the Democrat senators in opposing any nominee. But for many of these folks, doing that will be fatal, assuming President Trump puts forward another nominee of similar character and quality as Neil Gorsuch.
Trust me, Trump’s nominee has to be someone who is completely impeccable of character and whose record of public service is unassailable in any honest way. The Democrats will go to extreme lengths to “Bork” him or her by portraying them as “too extreme” to assume a seat on the highest court. Failing that, they will then subject the nominee to the Clarence Thomas strategy, so expect a parade of people coming forward to hurl false accusations of harassment or some other form of bad behavior in an effort to execute what then-nominee Thomas called “a high-tech lynching.” Because this is what the Democrats and their media guardians do.
One thing we can all be absolutely certain of is this: President Donald Trump (I never tire of typing those three words) will put forward a stellar, high-character, strict constructionist nominee to fill this vacancy. He will do that because that is what he promised to do in his campaign, and this man, like no president before him, keeps his promises to the American people.
Just another day in Donald Trump keeping his promises to America.
That is all.

Trump was really going after Heitkamp last night in North Dakota. She is in a very tough spot.
Interesting to see how she will vote on confirmation. Maybe yes?

Surprise: Democrats Oppose Every Single Supreme Court Candidate on Trump's List(?!)
townhall.com ^ | 6/28/2018 | Katie Pavlich
Posted on 6/28/2018, 11:41:16 AM by rktman
It's been less than 24-hours since Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy met with President Trump at the White House to declare his retirement.
After the announcement hit the news wires, President Trump said he would be choosing Kennedy's replacement from a list of 25-individuals. That list was released shortly after the 2016 presidential election by his transition team.
Before President Trump has declared a new nominee, Democrats are arguing every person being considered is already disqualified. They're demanding Trump "ditch the list" and come up with candidates that meet their leftist standards of constitutional revision.

ABC Frets: ‘Country Is Going to Change Profoundly’ over Trump SCOTUS Pick
newsbusters.org ^ | 6/28/2018 | Kristine Marsh
Posted on 6/28/2018, 11:52:37 AM by rktman
This morning on ABC’s Good Morning America, journalists for the network continued losing their collective minds over Supreme Court Justice Kennedy’s announcement that he was retiring from the bench. ABC led its morning coverage Thursday with three reports, portraying the news that President Trump would pick his successor, as a move back into the Dark Ages with abortion rights at stake. “It guarantees that this court and this country is going to change profoundly,” correspondent Terry Moran gushed.
Anchor Robin Roberts opened by noting dramatically that “every American” could be affected by this new SCOTUS pick. Correspondent Terry Moran touted the announcement as something to be dreaded: “Here at the Supreme Court, this noble building so often seen as a rock of stability in a tumultuous world is really shaken to its core today,” he stated.
Giving a rundown of different monumental cases that Kennedy had been the deciding vote on, giving particular attention to gay marriage and abortion, Moran touted the possibility that such crucial issues for the left could now be at risk, with Trump at the helm: “Now the President will choose Kennedy's successor, the stakes could not be higher,” Moran touted. “[T]his country is going to change profoundly,” he added.

Sadly , I fear with his stepping down, the Reagan era of politics is now gone.
Reagan settled for Kennedy because two other picks had issues, so not really. Imagine what a less confused world we would have if Robert Bork had been confirmed.

Hope this helps.
Nice sidestep potato IQ boy. So you think 3rd trimester abortion is okay, for no other reason than the mother doesn't want the fully formed child? Most other countries in the world have a 12 week cutoff, we very civilized Americans go much further. So you are cool with killing a baby at let's say 34 weeks?

Trump is not going to pick O-fag so she can stfu now

I'm for a 16 week limit on legal abortion but I don't think late term is murder.
No logic here. Then why are you for a 16 week limit? It shouldn't matter at all in your thought process.
