June 27, 2018 (Washington D.C.)- Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy has announced he will retire on July 31st. Kennedy has long been a swing vote on key issues including abortion, gay rights, and affirmative action, often siding with liberal justices in the key years.
Many key rulings have been decided by a single one-vote margin, so the 82-year-old justice’s retirement means President Donald Trump will have an opportunity to secure solid conservative control of the high court, potentially for decades to come.
