Yes, because he retired from his job… as the last fucking person standing between Trump and overturning any Supreme Court decision he wants.
Marriage equality? Gone. Roe v. Wade? Dead. Non-discrimination laws? Forget about it.
Refugees from muslim countries? Kiss them goodbye.
All those children and families stuck in ICE concentration camps? They’ll eventually be put to work, just like the rest of the fucking prison system.
Anthony Kennedy’s resignation letter is a blank fucking check for Trump to appoint a far-right lackey in his place, a mindless puppet that will let him abuse all the power in the world.
hi so Vanity Fair run a fantastic article (NYT had one too but I used all my free articles) about had the Trumps have courted the conservative justices for months and targeted Kennedy, promising him so so much if he would retire for them. Just like, fyi that this wasn’t an accident AT ALL.
And Kennedy’s son was Trump’s banker at Deutsche Bank that lent Trump a billion dollars when no one else would. There are huge conflicts of interest here.
AND Trump is under criminal investigation and should not be allowed to nominate any judges while the matters remain unsettled.
