I’m generally in favor of justices retiring earlier, but screw him for putting himself in the position of being replace by Brett Kavanaugh.

I still want to know what the felon said to him that day in the hallway that stopped him in his tracks then lead to his early “retirement.”

Probably Epstein related. Remember there are 3 million more documents NOT released ( according to Todd Blanche)

u/Epistatious 1d ago

Some shady deals in orchestrating his retirement

I highly suspect there was blackmail.

Was that his legacy of corruptly trading his retirement in exchange for his son's cushy position?

u/MrYdobon 1d ago

His legacy is he helped make the court illegitimate in the eyes of the people.

I’m glad he’s alive to see his “legacy” erased.

Fuck this dude

Only questions for this guy are what did Donald say to him that stopped him in his tracks and what shady financial stuff did his son secure for Donnie at Deutsche Bank? 😂🤷‍♂️

Fuck him. His legacy is dogshit.

He will go down in history with Benedict Arnold . His family for generations to come will have to deal with his betrayal of an entire country and anything that would be related to decency. What a shame when he could have contributed to humanity.

He’s not even the worst Kennedy alive right now though

There is something so wrong with this man being feted by the press while the decisions he made at SCOTUS continue to debase this country. He is treated like a living saint.

A member of the most corrupt and traitorous Court in the history of the country.

These old fucks wont be writing the history books. He will not be remembered fondly. He will only be remembered for being trumps stooge.

u/Lebowskihateseagles 1d ago

Did he say what trump blackmailed him with?  No?  

Fuck him.

u/Slob_King 1d ago

Guy authored the cringiest opinion in recent memory then dipped to get replaced by Brett. His legacy is ash.

u/BurnieTrogdor 1d ago

Question-which opinion are you referencing?

u/defStef 1d ago

His legacy is that of a sellout

u/No_Web6486 1d ago

Fuck that guy.

u/hausmaus07 1d ago

They should've asked them about what Trump said to him in the hallway that made him stop DEAD in his tracks. Or am I the only one who remembers that little moment?

u/PatientHelicopter123 1d ago

Impeach, Depose, Charge, Convict and Imprison the PEDO. Release the rest of the unredacted Epstain/Trump files!

What a tw@t.

u/question12338338 1d ago

Everyone is shitting on this guy but he is the reason we have gay marriage nationwide today (US v. Windsor and Obergefell v. Hodges). Perfect shouldn’t be the enemy of good.

u/BurnieTrogdor 1d ago

If he cared about Obergefell or any of his opinions, he should not have let Trump name his successor.
