Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy, the "swing vote" on the Supreme Court, and the author of a couple of very controversial decisions, announced his retirement.
Kennedy was appointed by Ronald Reagan. In spite of his disappointments to conservatives, rumor has had it that he wanted a Republican to pick his replacement. Recent results of his decisions may have cemented that view.
And, depending upon what occurs here, this could well cement a 5 to 4 conservative majority in the court for some time.
