Anthony Kennedy Out!

The swing is cutting loose.
The Supreme Court could swing in favor of conservatives forever because of Donald J. Trump and Mitch McConnell. The inept leaders of Washington have played dirty and get rewarded.

Anthony Kennedy is retiring. The last remenant of Ronald Reagan will hang it up.

Kennedy's decision to step down could transform the Supreme Court for generations. Trump will have his second opportunity to nominate a justice and will likely replace Kennedy with a young, conservative jurist. That would create a bloc of five staunch conservative justices who could move the court further to the right and cement a conservative majority for the foreseeable future.

The nomination battle will likely ignite a firestorm on Capitol Hill as it comes just a year after Republicans changed the rules of the Senate in order to push through the nomination of Justice Neil Gorsuch, Trump's first nominee.
Oh goodie, I get to pick a judge.
Trump said he has held Kennedy in high esteem, and that a search for a replacement will begin immediately.

The senate now can confirm a nominee on a simple partisan majority.

Seething in anger, Barack Obama's former pick Merrick Garland.

Trump could pick a nominee that could radically swing the court.

McConnell said that the Senate will not recess until a nominee is confirmed. So prepare yourselves for a fight.
