Kennedy made this decision knowing Trump would get to replace him.
He is not a good guy.

Kennedy gone from the U.S. Supreme Court. Yup. Hillary and Trump were the same. Thank you Bernie types who sat out because of spite. All that white economic anxiety folks. Trump's Supreme Court will have their own version of the Dred Scott decision.

America as we know it died today, folks. We’re officially living in the Handmaid’s Tale.
We had a good run, America. Get ready for a generation of regressive, corporate, nationalist rule. https://t.co/AzPSpqix7e
