Rumors are swirling that Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy may announce his retirement Monday and liberals are fearful over the possibility of a conservative-leaning court.
Liberals are fear mongering that basic human rights may be at stake if President Trump has the opportunity to replace Kennedy with a more conservative justice.
If Kennedy leaves, women, POC, and LGBT people will have their lives ruined.

Good point. SCOTUS does respect previous SCOTUS rulings.

One Twitter user even baselessly speculated that a conservative court would allow resegregation of schools.
Just a reminder: there’s a chance Kennedy announces his retirement on Monday, paving the way for the end of Roe.

If Kennedy retires Monday & Trump replaces w/another Koch/ Mercer-bought Gorsuch, what will the consequences be? Will truly be a full coup.

When the Court’s Term ends on Monday, June 26, all eyes should turn to Justice Kennedy. I hope he will defy predictions by NOT retiring.

Dear Justice Anthony Kennedy: please don’t retire. Please, please don’t.

You think Garland debacle was bad? Kennedy retiring is FAR worse cuz he’s the swing vote. Gay marriage & abortion instantly in jeopardy.

Kennedy not just retiring but taking the entire SCOTUS press out in a suicide bombing would be so 2017.
