On the one hand, Justice Kennedy likes to decide things (after lots of agonizing, no doubt). And this year in Masterpiece, in the partisan gerrymandering cases, and more, he has put things off for the future, maybe even next term /2

The silence there is deafening. If he couldn’t get off the pot after 14 years why wait for the chance at a 15 th? Gill was the moment if he wanted it. Teed up just for him

And what’s with the 9 months between argument and decision in Gill? Likely Kennedy was either vascillating or signing on with Roberts on nonjusticiability or Kagan to police gerrymandering and then pulled back. Why would next term be a better time?

Been thinking about this a lot as well given how Masterpiece came out... Masterpiece and Gill let him protect his legacy on all sides without having to make any hard final choices

Also Denial of Cert in Evans vs GA REgional (textbook Title Vii case) Upholding of Barber vs Bryant (Mississippi Religious Freedom Law) and Denial of Cert in Arkansas Medication Abortion case. Trump won't be impeached & he does not want to watch his legacy be reversed.
