• Not that Kennedy clan...

  Anthony M. Kennedy, Associate Justice,
  was born in Sacramento, California, July 23, 1936. He married Mary Davis and has three children. He received his B.A. from Stanford University and the London School of Economics, and his LL.B. from Harvard Law School. He was in private practice in San Francisco, California from 1961–1963, as well as in Sacramento, California from 1963–1975. From 1965 to 1988, he was a Professor of Constitutional Law at the McGeorge School of Law, University of the Pacific. He has served in numerous positions during his career, including a member of the California Army National Guard in 1961, the board of the Federal Judicial Center from 1987–1988, and two committees of the Judicial Conference of the United States: the Advisory Panel on Financial Disclosure Reports and Judicial Activities, subsequently renamed the Advisory Committee on Codes of Conduct, from 1979–1987, and the Committee on Pacific Territories from 1979–1990, which he chaired from 1982–1990. He was appointed to the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit in 1975. President Reagan nominated him as an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court, and he took his seat February 18, 1988.

  • I see. Thanks for the info.

• I think this bodes well for Congress to file suit for Obama not enforcing or changing laws. If they can get 9-0 for this, you have to think that Kennedy will go with the conservative side and get back to a more constitutional balanced setting.

  Maybe Roberts is having an effect on the libs on the court.

  • i can barely keep up with who's whom, you mean to say there's a kennedy on the bench? and do you further mean to tell me that the kennedy will go conservative? I find that rather hard to believe.

• The smartest guy in the room is looking more like a royal dumbass all the time...

  • Have you seen his new clothes?

      • Indeed! All the naked rage! Nude colors with subtle hints of blush.

        • Needs texture.

        • Think he's heard about this latest setback on the news yet?

        • wait a minit, are you sayin barry's a nekkid ape?

    • No whats he wearing now? ( I try not to look at pictures of him it hurts my eyes)

• The visiting guy that taught things about The Constitution got bitch slapped by the SCOTUS again.

  Can't wait for the leftist trolls to come in and tell us how Wyle E. Obama (Super Genius) is the smartest man in the history of the universe.

  • Old,old, but still...

    • It's still fun to read, not shocking, but fun.

• How many times all told is that he's been skunked by the Supremes now, 8-9?

  • For all the good it did.

• PAAAAAAAAAARTY! The Supremes remembered something called the Constitution, if only briefly. Ace noted "it is ironic that a former Senator's abuse of power has now led the Supreme Court to transform what was merely customary to a precedent decision that will curtail further presidents."

  • Don't get too excited, it will be business as usual ASAP.

• What will Obama do when he finds out about this ruling in the next month or two?

  • I go with drone strike, since that's his favorite thing besides admiring himself in the mirror.

• I think you meant 'reining'. Oh, wait ...

  • "Reigning in BS" -- yeah, a real ####storm.
