Kennedy is not a good guy. He proves it by retiring and letting Trump name his replacement.

Like everyone here, I am sorry to see Kennedy go. Mostly because we will get an Scalia clone, a la Gorsuch.

Still, he did cast some awful votes:

- Citizen United

- The muslin ban

- The racially motivated gerrymandering. In fact he could’ve made gerrymandering a thing of the past.

- It was John Roberts who saved the ACA mandate. Kennedy voted with Scalia on that one.

- For years SCOTUS has been chipping away at Civil Rights, especially voting rights, with Kennedy’s help.

He is a Conservative Republican, the only difference between him and Scalia, is that Scalia wanted to take us back to the !8th century. Kennedy just to the 1950’s.

In any case, anything good that he has done in his 30 years on the Supreme Court are invalidated by letting Trump name his replacement.

We thought he cared about gay rights. He knows that Obergefell will be gone the first chance the new SCOTUS get. Lawrence vs. Texas? Gone. Remember DOMA? Good thing Edie Windsor will not see when it’s back.

Goodbye Roe v. Wade.

This is what the GOP paid for by swallowing all the Trump shit, and Kennedy is the delivery boy.

Unless there’s some force majeure making him quit, Kennedy is backstabbing all the people his decisions might have protected from the conservative tyranny.

Is almost as if Lincoln had abandoned former slaves by resigning so Andrew Johnson could be President.
