    The circumstances of Justice Kennedy’s resignation must be investigated by the Senate Judiciary Committee before any replacement is considered. The Constitution does not give Trump the power to use underhanded means to induce Supreme Court resignations. https://newrepublic.com/minutes/149496/trumps-relationship-justice-kennedy-sounds-shady-new-report …

        We need to demand it. Something is off, for sure. Kennedy had already picked his interns for next year, so he clearly intended to still work.https://twitter.com/TheRynheart/status/1013092924324659200 …

        Was he paid to resign?? The timing is suspect.

        Kennedys son was Trumps bag man for a German bank.

        It's not above him to threaten Justice Kennedy to retire. However, the Republicans in both the House and Senate are terrified of the very idea of challenging this illegitimate president.
