SCOTUS Battle Supreme

Submitted by ub on

Veteran US Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy announced his resignation and the battle line are not being drawn.

He was appointed by Ronald Reagan and considered to be somewhat of a conservative, but Kennedy was better known for his generation-defining liberal opinions.

Kennedy has also been called the man in the middle and appropriately finds himself the middle of a chaotic fight between Republicans and Democrats, which will not be settled any time soon.
