Re: Will Justice A. Kennedy Quit the USSC?
No I don't. One short term silver lining to Trump being President is that he doesn't give a flip about the Supreme Court and he's going to just appoint someone who he thinks will make the Federalist Society and his base happy. That will probably result in him nominating the kind of Justice I like.Ivytalk wrote:Great. Then his successor Donk President will appoint another Sotomayor, or worse.

But we'll see. He IS pretty old.
I just think Kennedy doesn't want that. We'll see what happens.

Nobody would ever confuse Kennedy with a member of the Federalist Society. He's like you: a conservative of convenience, not of conscience.JohnStOnge wrote:No I don't.

Re: Will Justice A. Kennedy Quit the USSC?
Any conservative with a conscience would reject Trump. And I do. I passed the test. This past year, we had the opportunity to see which conservatives had integrity and which didn't. I passed. A lot of other conservatives didn't.Ivytalk wrote:Nobody would ever confuse Kennedy with a member of the Federalist Society.

BTW, my wife passed too when she resigned as a State Republican Central Committee member because the Republican Party nominated Trump.

Re: Will Justice A. Kennedy Quit the USSC?
Yup, you and your spouse supported a conventional statist liberal for POTUS instead of voting Libertarian, leaving a blank ballot, or voting for Donald Duck.
