QuoteSupreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy announced his retirement Wednesday, giving President Donald Trump the chance to cement conservative control of the high court.
The 81-year-old Kennedy said in a statement 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.
Kennedy said he has informed his colleagues and Trump of his plans, and that his retirement will take effect at the end of July.
Trump praised Kennedy as a man of ??tremendous vision?? and said his search for a new justice would begin ??immediately.??
Without Kennedy, the court will be split between four liberal justices who were appointed by Democratic presidents and four conservatives who were named by Republicans. Trump?s nominee is likely to give the conservatives a solid majority and will face a Senate process in which Republicans hold the slimmest majority, but Democrats can?t delay confirmation.
shit :uhh:
If he chooses one of his white supremacist buddies, we're gonna see the lasting effects of this administration for decades to come.
I can?t believe Trump is really about to be around for a full term and maybe more. Shit
So much is at stake. This is terrible. And something doesn?t seem right about the timing of his retirement to me.
