    Rick Hasen Retweeted Frank Thorp V

    This was one of the early reasons why I thought a Kennedy retirement was coming: McConnell cancelled much of the Senate's August recess. They know they can lose their chance to replace Kennedy in November if they lose the Senate.https://twitter.com/frankthorp/status/1012035688534020096 …

    Just asked McConnell Spox @StewSays if he thinks they can replace Justice Kennedy before the election, and he said, “yea, why not?”

        Since I got the Kennedy retirement right, here's my next prediction: Justice Brett Kavanaugh Kavanaugh, like Gorsuch, would be another Scalia on the Court, as I explain in my book on Scalia's legacyhttps://www.amazon.com/Justice-Contradictions-Antonin-Politics-Disruption/dp/0300228643/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1516904231&sr=8-1&keywords=richard+l.+hasen …

        I explained @TPM what A Kennedy retirement will mean for voting rights: https://talkingpointsmemo.com/cafe/scalias-goal-of-unwinding-voter-protections-is-becoming-a-reality … and civil rights in general: https://talkingpointsmemo.com/cafe/supreme-court-greatest-civil-rights-cause … Now I expect the left will begin to care as much about the Court as the right, and there will be little to do about it

        I'm guessing there will be plenty to discuss when I'm a panelist at tomorrow's @ACSLaw term in review event in DC and our July 9 @UCILAW event/webcast reviewing the Court's term will one for the ages

        Democrats have no power to stop this nomination. The only thing that would stop it is if Trump nominates someone not acceptable to Republicans. And I expect those "moderate" Republicans to fold, as they always do when McConnnell demands it.Rick Hasen added,

        Kennedy's letter also shows the kind of defeatism I wrote about yesterday @Slate Heard from a number of folks today who said Kennedy would have retired at the Court's public session to have the live audience. But he's done. Kennedy out <mic drop>

        In my Scalia book I called the battle over Kennedy's successor "World War III," Now I'm not so sure if McConnell can hold his people together. It will take public protests in streets to even try to move few moveable Republicans---remember Flake, McCain would love another Scalia

        Let's not forget the Trump Bump that will come in the midterms when he and McConnell deliver another Scalia to the Court before November. Evangelicals will eat it up.

        Yes I'm still on my plane ride to DC for tomorrow's @ACSLaw event. But I've just written @Slate on what comes next after Kennedy and it should post as I'm landing.....

        If Rs successfully appoint a new justice, I wonder if the next move is for Ds to begin calling to pack the court, FDR-style?

        Not seeing how they lose it before January regardless of the election. If McCain dies he gets interim replaced, right?

        Don't expect anything but a very conservative appointment from Arizona's governor, Doug Ducey. He has national aspirations.
