Day 20,008

OK, my future grandkids, today is one of those days you might want to look up in the history books.

Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy has announced his retirement. Kennedy was a more moderate voice on the Supreme Court, and often broke ties one way or the other throughout his tenure on the bench. The part that people are going to talk about is that this will lead to Trump’s second appointment to the bench.

A little history. A few years ago, Justice Antonin Scalia died from a heart attack at a property owned by a prominent gentleman, and there were always rumors that one of Scalia’s decisions helped that gentleman make millions of dollars. So, Scalia dies at his resort home.

Obama was president then, and he nominated Judge Merrick Garland to replace Scalia. Mitch McConnell pretty much stonewalled the nomination, never even giving Garland the time of day. No hearings, no interviews, no nothing.

Trump, aided by a Russian influence campaign, wins and soon after appoints Gorsuch to the bench. Since then, Gorsuch has come down with decisions favoring the Trump administration at every turn, and he isn’t very highly regarded among legal scholars.

Weird times, kiddos. Weird times.

Peace y’all.
