[EL PRESIDENTE]

Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy announced on Wednesday that he is retiring after more than 30 years on the court, kicking off what is sure to be a vicious confirmation battle.

Kennedy advised his colleagues that he is submitting a formal notification of his decision, effective July 31, to President Trump, the Supreme Court's press office announced a few hours after the court adjourned for the term.

"It has been the greatest honor and privilege to serve our nation in the federal judiciary for 43 years, 30 of those on the Supreme Court," Kennedy said in a statement.

Kennedy added that while his family was willing for him to continue to serve, his decision to step aside was based on his deep desire to spend more time with them.

Kennedy, who turns 82 in July, is the court’s longest-serving member and second-oldest justice after its leading liberal, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who is 85.

Nobody nominated by Trump is going to get confirmed. This is not my desire, just a statement of fact.

Nothingburger fake new.



Who would have thought a healthy justice with a lifetime appointment would announce an unexpected retirement days before a NYT article about his financial entanglements with Trump and Russia was set to be printed? I'm sure there is nothing to it. Remember that thing Hillary did one time?

Wow!
"Anthony Kennedy’s resignation must be investigated by the Senate Judiciary Committee before any replacement is considered,” adding, “The Constitution does not give Trump the power to use underhanded means to induce Supreme Court resignations.”

I have been watching to see what the Dems would do. Why couldn't I see investigate investigate, hamper and delay?

 

[Lanny]

Ha, ha, ha, ha.

Then we should get Ginsberg to retire soon. Not likely.

Not possible with all the Republicans refusing to consider him even with almost a year to go in Obama's term. If Republicans get to choose the next justice it's gonna be a close call. Then they'll pay for it at the ballot box.
