Also: Kennedy is old. His replacement will be young.

Isn't it all about Roe? I don't know exactly what form a "gutting" of Roe would take, absent a more straightforward overturning of it, but I thought Kennedy was more inclined to oppose either of those outcomes. Any GOP nominated replacement would certainly not be.

Gutting of it could simply be putting regulations at the state level that push all clinics out of conservative states and SCOTUS allowing it.

Isn't it also that if Trump doesn't replace him a Democratic president might? With Scalia dead and Thomas 70 + highly unlikely to retire without a clear path to confirming a conservative successor, he's really the only shot at shifting the court left within the next decade.

Yeah, what does the Voting Rights Act have to do with *checks paper* voting??

Every appointee to the Supreme Court makes a difference; and if Donald Trump is given consent to appoint whoever he wants, it matters. William Rehnquist, who moved up the ladder in the Saturday Night Massacre, got to SCOTUS & often voted alone in 8-1 rulings. Yet, he mattered.

When Chief Justice Vinson died, Ike made a recess appointment that a GOP Senate later ratified. The California Governor he appointed wasn't a judge; he was a recent VP nominee. Earl Warren was no swing vote. But a school-segregation case was reargued, and the nation was changed.
