The title, of course, is a reference to the oft-heard quip that there are three branches of government in the contemporary United States: the Executive Branch, The Legislative Branch, and Anthony Kennedy.
Justice Kennedy has announced that he is retiring. This is huge news, and a wonderful opportunity.
May RBG be next, and soon.
Update:
Senator Schumer honks that to replace Justice Kennedy before the midterms would be “the height of hypocrisy”.
Not at all! He’s just looking for consistency in the wrong place. The consistent principle is this: when you have power, you must use it. Or lose it.
This, I am very sure, Mr. Schumer understands.
