Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy announced Wednesday that he plans to retire on July 31 of this year, a move that is already being called "every Republican's dream scenario for Trump" by the media, as Kennedy is considered to be the swing vote on the Supreme Court. Kennedy has recently helped give conservatives wins on several Supreme Court Cases, including the ruling that legalized same-sex marriage in 2015, the case of a florist who refused to provide arrangements for a gay wedding, and the ruling that public sector unions can't force employees to pay dues. Kennedy's departure creates an opportunity for President Donald Trump's chosen replacement to potentially shift the balance of power on the court ... and in the country. Democrats have already gone into a panic, expressing concerns that this retirement will mean the end of Roe v. Wade, which Kennedy upheld in 1992. Anger, right now, is seen as a form of authenticity. If you're not angry, then ?

Tipping the Scales

Submitted 5 years ago by ActRight Community

If Donald Trump’s nominee to replace Justice Anthony Kennedy, who announced his retirement on June 27, is confirmed by the Senate, the Supreme Court will have a stable majority of conservative justices for the first time since before the New Deal. Kennedy’s successor will be Trump’s second Surpreme Court pick and may not be his last. Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who is eighty-five, clearly wishes to stay on the Court as long as Trump is president. So does Justice Stephen Breyer, who turns eighty later this year. But neither is immortal. Especially if Trump is reelected, he could potentially replace both of these justices with staunch young conservatives.

Deportation isn't just for undocumented criminals, as President Trump has suggested. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has set its sights on lawful permanent residents who have committed minor crimes, some more than 20 years ago, the Los Angeles Times reports. These immigrants have green cards, but 15 were still scooped up in a three-day ICE raid on "public safety threats" in the Los Angeles area. Jose Luis Garcia is one of those legal immigrants, arrested in the June 10 roundup while watering his lawn, per The Mercury News. The 62-year-old grandfather left Mexico when he was 13 and earned legal status in 1988. But his 2001 misdemeanor arrest for domestic violence made him a target for deportation; an immigration lawyer told the Times that domestic violence is "always a deportable crime." Garcia's green card may have even made him more likely to be picked up. An ICE agent reportedly told his team that some raids' targets had green cards, "so we should have a good address on them," per the Times. If he'd applied for naturalization, ICE could've been alerted to Garcia's arrest even earlier. Most of those targeted in the operation were undocumented immigrants, the Times says. But Garcia is still in ICE custody, and his wife — also a lawful permanent resident — is warning others against putting faith in their green cards. Read more at the Los Angeles Times.
