Rumor is now that the term is up he will be announcing retirement, possibly tomorrow

Leftists be like

Trey Gowdy

Interesting, it was reported last night he had hired a full staff of Clerks for the next term. If he does retire I would hope his replacement retains them.

This has been going on and off for a while.

Maybe he is tired of having to overrule lower courts ignoring the law and has decided we need another conservative justice.

Or maybe he just wants to retire.

It's time for Richard Posner.

Political ideologies aren't good for anybody.

No idea what Kennedy will do. I mean, he’s 82 in July so maybe he’s done. But these rumors come up every year. They are meaningless. And he can keep hiring clerks even after he’s retired. So that is meaningless, too, so far as whether he’s going to retire or not.

Gowdy's gonski into the private sector.....I get your drift.....

however, I still have faith Tejas would put another red guy in his place.....

I'd rather have him on the bench at this point after listening to his posits over the last 3 yrs......

If Robert Bork were still alive, I'd love to Trump to nominate him just for the troll effect.

Plus 3 for you!

Cruz would be a great choice. Also, some dems Senators might be willing to vote for him just to get him out of congress. Cruz doesn't play well with the swamp. I would miss him being my Senator, but the SC is more important then a single seat in the Senate.

Although I don't think Texas has another Cruz right now, I'm sure we can find a solid replacement.

Maxine will have Justice Kennedy stalked and harassed for leaving while Trump is President. Robert DeNiro will scream, "F##k Kennedy and other libs will threaten Justice Kennedy's children and grandchildren. Justice Kennedy and his family will be refused service at restaurants by Democrats. It is who they are these days.

that's where I see a bang/bang win......put him in the robe and let the constituents replace him with a guy that has a bit more moxie in that arena.....

IMO, it's obvious he would wear the robe well.......

Cruz is another terrible purely ideological choice.

Sorry, I can't get behind a Supreme Court Justice who's gone on record saying that when he hears a case he doesn't pay attention to the law or Constitutional provisions.

Not to mention the fact that he's 79 years old.

He's an avowed ideologue.

That's not a good thing to have on a court, especially if you are a fan of applying the law regardless of outcome as opposed to manipulating it.

That would be a great line if you were talking to the kind of person you clearly think you are; but, you aren't.
