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

… Thor Benson ✔ @thor_benson As a member of the LGBTQ community, Justice Kennedy being replaced threatens my rights. It also threatens the rights of minorities, women and Muslims. Trump must not be allowed to replace him before November. Let the people speak first.

Trump will push for swift confirmation of a new Supreme Court justice -- before the midterms
CNN ^ | 06/28/2018 | Jeff Zeleny
Posted on 6/27/2018, 2:34:58 PM

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.
