Anthony Kennedy, the Politics of the Supreme Court, and how a New Justice May Change the Court
In our first ever three-person Politics Guys, Northern Kentucky University Law Professor Ken Katkin joins Mike and Jay to discuss:
how Kennedy was different from the Court’s four other conservatives whether the Justices are politicians in robes or if they base their decisions on more than partisan calculations if Senator McConnell should hold off on hearings for President Trump’s nominee to replace Kennedy until after the election, as he did with President Obama’s nominee to replace Justice Scalia how the Court may alter its opinions on partisan gerrymandering, LGBTQ rights, denial of services to same-sex weddings, and Roe v. Wade with a new, more conservative replacement for Kennedy
