Why doesn't Kennedy say F' it and not retire?

[Renew Deal]

Kennedy can put an end to it right now. He can say he's staying for the foreseeable future. No more investigations. No more hearings.

1. That may well be their "plan 'b'"

It seems they don't think they have enough time before the elections, and they may not be able to pull it off during the lame duck.

So kennedy hanging on for another couple terms might be the best they can do.

2. He's already retired. Paperwork has been submitted.

He didn't do what Sandra Day O'Conner did and say he'd serve until a replacement is appointed and confirmed.

For Kennedy to come back, he would have to be renominated and reconfirmed by the Senate.

3. Wasn't there something about the fix being in with Kennedy and some money somewhere?

4. I thought Kennedy's kid worked for the bank that loaned Trump

Money. I could be wrong.

[YessirAtsaFact]

7. Deutsche Bank, yep

IIRC, the bank was fined for laundering money for the Russian oligarchs.

Apparently, Trump stiffed so many US lenders he couldn't get a loan from a US back so he went to them

5. He couldn't

Actually heard your proposal mentioned on a news show, and they said there had been cases where a judge did revoke his retirement but the courts ruled that he or she would have to go through the confirmation process again.
So, if Kennedy tried it I guess the remaining SCOTUS would have to rule on it. As my daughter says: Awkward!

6. If he is as big a narcissist as the moron he will dig his heels in and stick

with Plan A. Also, he has been groomed for this "job" his whole life so this is probably going to be pretty hard for him to accept. He has never had a hard fall nefore, poor baby.

I hope he becomes a bum on Skid Row. Maybe he will have to buy Thunderbird and Miller and not fine wine and Arrogant Bastard Ale.

8. already got his pay off n/t

[Hekate]

9. He already cleaned out his desk and took home the potted plant. He retired.

Very seldom do people get to un-quit.
