Woke up from work this afternoon after working a night shift to find that Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy has decided to retire immediately after assisting conservatives in gutting some of the power that labor unions have and reminding everyone that yes, POTUS does have considerable authority in the realm of immigration and stopping travel from countries that fund and support terrorist activities.
And now Kennedy stepping down gives the Republicans some time to hopefully fall in line and rubber stamp someone from Trump's pretty decent list of SCOTUS choices.
That'll move the general ideology of the court from slightly right-leaning, to a clear 5-4 right-leaning majority. I'm sure by now you know that Kennedy was pretty moderate, with a slight rightward lean. Trump now has a chance to replace a right-moderate with someone who is just right.
Now what about Justice Ginsburg? Sometimes I'm not even sure that she is still conscious. Being a feminist leftist, I'm sure she fancies herself some kind of revolutionary, as those kind always do, standing tall in the face of opposition for their right to, well, infringe on your rights, get into your business and take your stuff away from you. That's always what it boils down to for commies. She'll likely try to inhabit that seat until she dies, or until the democrats take control of government again.
Can she hold out that long? Hopefully not. A solid 6-3 majority would help the right stave off at least some of the stupidity the left is going to throw at us as punishment for what we've done, or what they perceive we've done.
