Source familiar tells NBC that Justice Kennedy had been in negotiations with the Trump team for months over Kennedy’s replacement. Once Kennedy received assurances that it would be Kavanaugh (his former law clerk) Kennedy felt comfortable retiring - @LACaldwellDC & @frankthorp

1. Repeat thread.

[PJMcK]

2. So what?

This corruption needs to be repeated over and over.

6. exactly

in the RWer's and trolls faces here and elsewhere. Loud or reasoning, whichever is called for in any given situation.

11. Unfortunately, such corruption WILL be repeated over and over

as long as this administration is in power.

12. Hah!

Of course you're right, thesquanderer! My grammar was imprecise and I apologize.

What I meant was, the exposure of this corruption needs to be repeated over and over.

Oops.

4. If true, expect Justice Thomas to be next.

He has always complained about not making enough money. He should be able to demand quite a bit now that it is acceptable practice to negotiate what it will take to get you to step down.

He should get an agent to represent him because the potential to replace himself with someone much younger and conservative is so inviting to the GOP. Perhaps the GOP and evangelicals can start a go fund me page to buy the seat??

5. I pray

you are wrong. Yet with the astounding level of corruption and avarice openly displayed by this administration, almost as a badge of honour, this would not surprise me at all.

7. It's called quid pro quo

where I work. Now, we wait for the other shoe to drop re Kennedy’s son, and there you have it. Personally, I like the idea of a SC of 11, 13 or 15 myself. That is, after the Dems retake the House and Senate. A girl can dream, can’t she?

8. Sounds like justification

for executive appointment of three or four more justices by the next Democratic president as FDR threatened to do.

[Achilleaze]

9. republicans are defrauding America

send them off to freaking Siberia where they belong, since they piss on America.

10. "source familiar"

We're better than this. Real names or BS
