The best news of all when it comes to the Supreme Court may prove to be that Justice Kennedy will soon retire, as his closest friends and colleagues have reported. That will enable Trump to appoint another Gorsuch-like Constitutional Conservative and put an end to the activist Supreme Court for perhaps generations - especially if Trump gets to appoint another one or two after that. Ancient liberal Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg surely can't nap her way for much longer.

Kennedy has been the swing vote in several huge rulings - including the one which ruled, quite incorrectly in my opinion, in favor of gay marriage. Non-traditional civil unions are fine - but marriage has always been - by between a man and a woman - by it's origin, it's very definition and literally thousands of years of actual practice.

If the feckless Republicans fail to repeal and replace Obamacare, could it be that Obamacare will be challenged again before the Supreme Court? It only passed by one vote the first time, and that was after Justice Roberts had a last-minute change of heart and mind after a reported visit with Obama. Clearly, to me and to a very large number of legal scholars, Obamacare is unconstitutional. Nowhere does the Constitution guarantee health care or insurance for all any more than it guarantees housing, clothing, food, transportation, income, jobs, etc.

Is it possible, gasp, that the Court may ultimately revisit Roe versus Wade? That was perhaps the biggest extra-constitutional, activist Court ruling of all. I am not advocating banning all abortions, but I am saying that it should be left up to the states and there is nothing in the Constitution that says it is the domain of the Federal Government.
