This tweet intimates that Justice Kennedy voted corruptly in cases because of his son’s work w Trump. That’s a very serious charge without evidence. Now the @adamliptak @maggieNYT “buttering up guy w huge ego to get him to leave” theory much more plausible.https://twitter.com/neeratanden/status/1012665534297624577 …

I make the same point about Justice Scalia in my book. One can think his jurisprudence unsound and even dangerous without impugning his integrity.https://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 …

So why did Kennedy retire when he did? He’s nearly 82, wanted to go last year but stayed another year likely because of Trump instability, and as I wrote
@slate the day before Kennedy announced, he appeared out of gashttps://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.slate.com/news-and-politics/2018/06/did-justice-anthony-kennedy-just-signal-his-retirement.html …Show this thread -
This is not news people: "Last year, the Financial Times reported that Kennedy’s son was “one of Mr Trump’s most trusted associates over a 12-year spell at Deutsche.” https://newrepublic.com/minutes/149496/trumps-relationship-justice-kennedy-sounds-shady-new-report …https://www.ft.com/content/8c6d9dca-882c-11e7-bf50-e1c239b45787 …

...while his son was “loaning” a $$billion to credit-less Trump clan from Deutsche bank, for investment in derivatives and other shady mortgage deals that destroyed the world economy last time. Kennedy was deciding vote on Citizen’s United.

Except for the timing of his retirement and his connections to Trump. But other than that, sure.

Agreed. I disagree w/ many of his decisions & find many of his rationales flimsy, but that’s a difference in ideology & judicial philosophy, not corruption. There are good reasons to criticize Kennedy’s opinions & I raise some of them in teaching con law. This isn’t among them.

Not true. Why did he pick his clerks and then suddenly retire??? Dig deeper, or you will be considered a fool.

There is something to suggest his timing was partisan. Think they promised his rulings would stand.

So despite the links you yourself provided you give Kennedy a free pass because clearly he's acted entirely without any suspect volition or motivation. Because "integrity". OK. So noted.

Agree on the rulings. The timing of his leaving is somewhat suspicious though. Why did he leave before mid-terms? He could have waited a few months.

The money trail from the Koch Bros To Justice Kennedy is very apparent. trump bullied Kennedy into early retirement. Nothing says corruption like

Can't say the same about his retirement!

The fact that he did not recuse himself in decisions like the travel ban because of his family's personal relationship with Trump is all of the evidence that I need to conclude that Kennedy acted with something less than integrity. Conflict of interest is not a difficult concept.

I wonder if there is news to come on Justice Kennedy’s son and, being aware of it, Justice Kennedy left the bench.
