Justice Kennedy (SCOTUS)
« on: June 27, 2018, 12:32:13 pm »
He's retiring on July 31. He's only 81. i would have thought Ruth Bader-Ginsburg would have retired first. I think she's 86. He was a swing Justice.

Trump as a list of 25 picks from the Neil Gorsuch time. Curious as to who he would pick. There are only 3 conservatives on the Court now. He will probably pick another conservative. That would almost even it up. 

Dem's hair is on fire already but it was because of Harry Reid that there is no longer the ability to filibuster. Chris Matthews if flipping out. He's liable to have a stroke. They only need 51 votes for confirmation instead of the 60 they needed prior to the presidential election.

I am sure whom ever President Trump picks the democrats will do everything in their power  to stop.  I pray it is not a long time before Kennedy is replaced.  A couple more  need to retire. One is so old she can't seem to stay away  long enough to make a proper judgement and will always vote in favor of the democrats instead of favor for  the betterment of our country.

I admit that I don't follow this type of thing very closely.  But I am pretty sure there are four conservatives and this will definitely tip things in favor of conservatives.

If they are in their 80s they should not still be on there.  There should be an age when they say no more.  We had a guy who was running for mayor here locally that is 86.  That was ridiculous.  He had no chance of winning and has withdrawn.  All he was doing anyway was pulling votes off the competition of the one in there now.

It's sad to see a Kennedy go and probably end up with a trump lover! I'm hoping the Democrats kick a** in November!!! I also wish Mueller would conclude his investigation so we could get trump impeached already!!!

People want change. That's what they voted for in Trump. Even New Yorker's want change as evidenced last week for replacing an old timer with a 28 year old bartender. The American people are tired of the status quo.

Frankly, it's also time that anyone running for President who will turn 75 years or more during his term should not be able to run for the office.  Too damn old!  Time to get younger blood into the government all around!
