Roger Stone Says Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy Could Retire “Any Minute Now”

Ever since President Trump took the oath of office, there have been rumors that another Supreme Court vacancy will soon arise.

The most common assumption is that Justice Anthony Kennedy, the socially libertarian, Reagan-appointed justice, will announce his retirement. Kennedy is 81-years-old, and while he’s not the oldest justice on the Court, he likely feels most comfortable vacating his seat under a Republican president.

Last month, just before the Court recessed for the summer, there was an increase in speculation that Kennedy was going to announce his retirement. But the Court’s last day came and went with no such announcement. Even so, some observers think Kennedy could throw in the towel any day now.

Over the weekend, political veteran Roger Stone weighed in on the matter. During an interview at Politicon, Stone said that Kennedy could retire “any minute now.”

Here’s the full quote from Gateway Pundit:

ROGER STONE: [President Trump] did very successfully get a Supreme Court Justice confirmed. He’s about to get another seat, because I think Justice Kennedy will resign any minute now. I’m a man with sources. I’ve said this previously at infowars.com My sources tell me, and they’re pretty good, tell me that Justice Kennedy’s resignation is imminent – sometime in the next few weeks.

Kennedy may be a Republican-appointed Justice, but he’s far from reliable. On social issues, he almost always sides with the liberals. Most recently, he cast the deciding vote in the Obergefell case, which legalized same-sex marriage across the country.

Given President Trump’s first Supreme Court appointment, Justice Neil Gorsuch, I trust him to replace Kennedy with a conservative justice who will make us proud.
