Like an hour after everyone fires off their “no retirements” takes.

From this pretty-casual-court-watcher's perspective, do we think this will change much about what's been going on for the past year and a half or so? It seems like he's swung right on most economic and labor issues, and has even on most social issues after Obergfell. Were they any important decisions from the beginning of the Trump administration that would've swung if a more conservative justice was in his seat?

Obviously, if Trump nominates a 40-year-old judge, that's going to have incredible long-term impact. Just thinking about the short-term now.

I'm not even mad at him, the dude is 80 something, he should probably spend time with his family. I am still PISSED with the Dems for taking such a white glove approach to the Garland/Gorsuch fiasco. They should have been guns blazing, now we all get to suffer for decades. Awesome.

There's nothing the Dems could have ultimately done back then, and there's not much they can do now. Sucks if you're a supporter of the Dems, but that's where we're at.

I’d like to call this pessimism, but

You guys are acting like Kennedy is some liberal champion. He's a conservative. Sure he's voted with the liberals on occasion but he's certainly been no friend to the left this past term.

That is, in fact, not the basis for this concern.

He's a damn bit better than Gorsuch II.
