      Rick Hasen Retweeted Vote November 6th  🌊

      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 …

      Rick Hasen added,

      Vote November 6th  🌊Verified account @neeratanden
      Just to state this: Justice Kennedy's son gave a billion dollar loan to Trump when no one would give him a dime, and Justice Kennedy has been ruling in favor of the Trump Administration position for 2 years as the Court decides 5-4 case after 5-4 case.

      I’m as critical of Kennedy’s votes as many (and have another very critical piece out Monday @slate) but there’s nothing to suggest Justice Kennedy did his job with anything but the utmost integrity.

      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 …

          Replying to @rickhasen @Slate

          No, Kennedy’s relationships with the Trumps and Kushners warrant a deeper look before this conclusion can be drawn with any confidence. Justices have personal interests that can shape how they view the law and the Court. Enough of a connection will threaten the Court’s integrity.

          Your explanation doesn’t mention his hiring of his staff for next session just two weeks ago - he clearly was not intending on retiring until his meeting with Donald. His personally conflict of interest with the Trump family is a big deal.http://thehill.com/regulation/367950-ginsburg-kennedy-hire-law-clerks-for-future-supreme-court-terms …

          .@neeratanden I agree with @rickhasen . However, we worry about “the appearance of impropriety” among judges for very good reasons, and several Justices have not been careful about avoiding this in recent years. Kennedy was not the worst offender.

          This line of criticism really annoys me. He’s 81. He’s been on the bench since 1975 and a Supreme Court justice for 30 years. He owes no one a thing and has the right to retire and enjoy his last years of life.

          If you looked at another nation and saw the children of the judiciary overseeing billions worth of banking deals that involved that nation’s top executive, what would you say? Forest, trees.

          It’s impossible that the White House, the Federalist Society, and GOP mega donors did not play a part in the timing of his retirement. Midterms coming, far too much at stake.

          But if he were to rule on trump’s future subpoenas or indictments... *direct* conflict of interest there?! Trump now gets to pick his judge that will be the deciding decision on his criminal case?!?
