Retirement Rumors Swirl Around SCOTUS

Retirement rumors have been floating around Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy, with some saying he may decide to leave the bench at the end of this term. The Trump administration is preparing for the prospect of a nomination. With that pick, the president has the opportunity to create a five-member conservative majority on the Court. However, one former clerk told Bloomberg that Kennedy may stay another year, given the extraordinary power he now yields as the Court’s swing vote.
