turtle pos... no problem rushing to get this through just 5 months before election after stonewalling for a full year last time
Yah. Sucks, but alas in American politics to the victors belong the spoils.
Lol let the games begin!
This isn't a presidential year. Biden rule does not apply.
that wricked witch is next
she falls asleep all the time now
Pres.Trump tells reporters he will select Kennedy replacement from the list of 25 he released previously, per kevinliptakcnn
NOTHING LIKE TRANSPARECY
This is a 2016 rule?
We voted in the Biden year statement. I mean you're trolling but...
not like they were "victors" when they held the seat hostage after scalia croaked
biden good now
They "won" (got their way), no?
they weren't winners at the time scalia croaked and they decided to not bring it to a vote. they were winners 9 months later
they won the Senate son
I don't even know what you're talking about but it's different now is all that matters
Lol cheerleaders
ah, so if you have the senate, its just part of the game if you decide to block SCOTUS appointments, even for a full 4 years?
with SCOTUS as solid 6-3, Notorious RBG has no reason to hang on, as she did expecting Hillary to name her replacement
To the bad-faith cheaters (Repugs, McConnell) go the spoils.
The Federalist Society, Heritage, Hoover Inst, Cato, etc must have a long list of cases to take to court, financed Gawker-style by the oligarchy, now that they own SCOTUS on behalf if the oligarchy.
The Mythical American Experiment is definitely over. The oligarchy rules, everybody else will get more and more ed.
Well it depends on which party has the Senate
The New York Times is urging Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy not to retire.
The newspaper's comments came in an editorial written as an open letter to Kennedy.
"As you have no doubt heard, rumors of your impending retirement are, for the second year in a row, echoing around Washington and across America," the newspaper said. “While you and your colleagues on the Supreme Court were listening to the final oral arguments of the term in recent days, those rumors were only growing more insistent.
"How can we put this the right way? Please don't go.
"Sitting between the four liberal justices and the four conservatives, you are the most powerful member of the most powerful court in the country, as you have been for at least a decade."
It noted Kennedy has delivered landmark legal victories for Americans, “from gays to lesbians seeking equal rights to African-American college students seeking a better education."
The Times pointed out that Republican lawmakers are referring to his departure as a "done deal."
"They smell blood — if they can install another rock-ribbed conservative like Neil Gorsuch, the court will have a locked-in right-wing majority for the rest of most of our lifetimes,” the newspaper said.
It said his record on the high court “is more conservative than liberal.” And the Times added: “But there’s no question that you are less of an ideologue than anyone President (Donald) Trump would pick."
The newspaper said: "We realize this isn’t an entirely fair request. Every 81-year-old, especially those who have devoted their lives to the service of their country, should have the freedom to retire without worrying that the nation’s future may hang in the balance. But this is the world we live in."
It said if Trump gets the opportunity to fill his seat on the court, “it will be the most conservative court in nearly a century."
The Times concluded: “This is your court, Justice Kennedy. It is facing an ins utional crisis, and it needs you."
LOL TIMES!
kennedy is probably the best justice we've had in a while, all things considered. the courts are supposed to be apolitical. he does the best to embody that principle. made sense to replace scalia with another idealogue... all things all kept the status quo. but replacing kennedy with another gorsuch would be ting on that seat, quite literally.
would have said the same if he was replaced by another sotomayor. garland would have been a good choice tbh...
U.S. President Donald Trump said on Wednesday he was launching an immediate search for someone to replace retiring Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy, whom he hailed as a spectacular man with great vision and heart.
Speaking to reporters during an Oval Office meeting with Portuguese President Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa, Trump said he would draw from a list of 25 potential court candidates that his campaign had assembled during his presidential run.
Here are the potential Supreme Court nominees to replace Justice Kennedy
From CNN's Ariane de Vogue
Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy is set to retire by July 31. Here's a short list of possible nominees who President Trump could select to replace him:
Brett Kavanaugh: He's a former Kennedy clerk. Kavanaugh was a late add to President Trump’s list of potential nominees, but many believe the 53-year-old judge who sits on the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, might be the favorite.
Amy Coney Barrett: She's a former Notre Dame professor and former clerk to Justice Antonin Scalia. Barrett was President Donald Trump’s pick for a seat on the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals.
Raymond Kethledge: He also served as clerk for Kennedy. Kethledge, 51, currently sits on the 6th Circuit.His critics worry about an anti-union opinion he issued in a case brought by public school employees.
Amul Thapar: He is Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's favorite. He was handpicked from McConnell to serve at the US Attorney for the District of Kentucky.
Sen. Mike Lee: Although Lee of Utah has never served as a judge, judicial conservatives feel confident that he would not surprise them on the Supreme Court.
Thomas Hardiman: He was runner up for Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch's seat.
President Trump asked Kennedy about who should replace him
From CNN's Kevin Liptak
President Trump said he asked retiring Justice Anthony Kennedy about possible names to replace him at the Supreme Court.
Trump, speaking in the Oval Office, said they “had a very deep discussion. I got his ideas on things."
"I asked him if he had certain people he had great respect for that could potentially take his seat," he said.
Trump said Kennedy was at the White House in the early afternoon and left a "little while ago."
