The Trump family and Kennedy family are closer than you might expect as a result of business ties predating Trump’s political ascent. Trump (at least indirectly) and his allies (directly) sought to persuade the Justice to let Trump pick his successor. None of that is a scandal.

Regression to the mean. He gave us Bush v. Gore, his liberal bent was a figment of the left’s imagination...

You're ruling out blackmail?

No but I like to do my shaving with Occam
-
Since you're shaving with "Occam," why didn't Kennedy just recuse himself if and when a case involving his son came before SCOTUS?
-
Because man is selfish.

So shaving with "Occam" was bs? You shave with Augustine?https://oca.org/questions/teaching/st.-augustine-original-sin …
-
Yeah, sorry... This is one debate where Occam legitimately cuts both ways.

I think the left just got too enamored with the idea of Kennedy being on their team that they lost sight of all the terrible decisions he wrote and/or signed on to. One gay clerk was clearly not enough to override his conservatism wholesale.

It's bad optics for these conservative judges to be so cozy with politicians that often are involved with cases. Gorsuch dining with GOP Senators and a Trump cabinet offical for example. I can't seem to find examples from lib Justices.http://thehill.com/homenews/senate/370232-gorsuch-has-dinner-at-gop-senators-home …
