Anthony Kennedy, the longest-serving member of the Supreme Court, is reportedly considering retirement.
Kennedy has, since at least 2005, been the swing vote on many of the Court’s most ideologically charged decisions, responsible for 5-4 rulings that legalized same-sex marriage, preserved Roe v. Wade, upheld warrantless wiretapping, blew up campaign finance restrictions, overturned DC’s handgun ban, and weakened the Voting Rights Act. That position has made him one of the most powerful people in America for well over a decade now, not even counting the 18 years he shared his position as the Court’s swing voter with Sandra Day O’Connor.

Well, the poop is going to hit the fan now!
And before anyone gets their undies in a knot, I've always advocated for term limits on Supreme Court Justices.

So are you against same sex marriage?
Are you against women having the right to choose?
Are you for handguns in DC?
If you answered yes to any of these, why?
Asking fora friendeveryone else who still has some common sense and decency.

Thanks.
Wouldn't you agree that Kennedy be replaced with an equally minded judge?
Otherwise, we may slide into something like the world of The Handmaids Tale.

Nobody said anything about all that, we can have that AND a conservative judge as well 😅
Having both Liberal and Conservative input and perspective can have a lasting balance . Either one dominating for too long is not a good thing . I guess being consistent is one important part though . Unlike reg politicians who forget what and why they said what they said yesterday . Nothing really new but both sides should keep that in mind when jumping aboard any band wagon
Hopefully those people will get over themselves or risk descending further down the hole of self righteousness.
