Anthony Kennedy, the Politics of the Supreme Court, and how a New Justice May Change the Court
Published 7 years, 8 months ago
Description
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
