Concerning the Voting Rights Act and the recently heard arguments by the Supreme Court, Justice Anthony Kennedy had this to say- "But when that change has occurred seems to me to be best left to the legislature – and I thought that was the core conservative position. When last revisited, the Voting Rights Act was passed overwhelmingly. Since when were conservatives the ones asking the courts to strike down laws almost unanimously supported by the representatives of the people?"

Justice Antonin Scalia stated that voting could be construed as a entitlement. Justice Anthony Kennedy stated the Marshall Plan was good, "but times change." If these claims have the least bit of substance, how can anyone claim the Second Amendment's right to bear arms applies to the 21st century? Hunting is no longer a necessity for providing food for one's family. Local militias have long since been replaced by both local and state police, sheriff's departments and the most powerful military force ever assembled by mankind. If eliminating certain laws due to "changing times" applies to various laws, then doing away with the Second Amendment's right to bear arms falls into this category. Wasn't our Constitution written for the protection of "all people"? Should not all people have the right to go out in public without the fear of being gunned down by some modern-day Jesse James carrying his AK-47? Jack Stawicki, Beverly Hills

"At one point, Justice Anthony Kennedy tried to quiet [Sotomayor]. ... The lawyer got out a few more sentences — and then Kagan broke in."

US top court hears landmark voting measure challenge A CHALLENGE from an Alabama county over a landmark voter rights law is being heard at the US Supreme Court. Shelby County says requiring places with a history of discrimination to get approval before making any changes to election law is no longer necessary. The measure is part of the 1968 Voting Rights Act, extended for 25 years in 2006 with wide bipartisan support. A crucial justice appeared to be sympathetic to Shelby County’s argument during Wednesday’s hearing. Justice Anthony Kennedy, the court’s swing vote on racial issues, said during discussion that “times change”. Chief Justice Roberts asked Solicitor General Donald Verrilli whether the Obama administration thinks Southerners “are more racist than citizens in the North”. The Voting Rights Act creates strict oversight of election laws in nine states, most in the US South, as well as in a few jurisdictions in other states. Protesters against the suit marched in front of the US high ...

month marks 25 years on the Court for Justice Anthony Kennedy,

Today, February 15, 2013, Attorney Orly Taitz brings her request to move the Obama eligibility challenge from conference to the oral hearing stage at the US Supreme Court. She is moving forward in spite of the fact that four African-American Supreme Court clerks refused to allow Taitz to see the signature of Justice Anthony Kennedy, who denied her petition originally. “But I resubmitted to Justice Roberts, and he sent it to the conference,” Taitz said. The California attorney is asking “…how do we know that he (Kennedy) ever saw the brief?” In no uncertain terms, clerk James Baldin told her that “I (Taitz) [was] not allowed to see the signature.” This denial of her right to see Kennedy’s signature “does not make any sense.” Perhaps her Russian ancestry and background knowledge of the suppression of citizens caused her to note similarities with DC police actions that blocked “more and more streets” during Obama’s State of the Union address. The group of eligibility challengers wer ...

On Feb. 15, all nine justices will gather in conference to review whether Obama used forged government documents and fake identification in order to get elected as commander-in-chief. Edward Noonan, et al., contend that if Obama had been ineligible to run in 2008, other Democratic candidates should have replaced him on the presidential ballot. Additionally, electoral votes from states such as California that went towards Obama should have been deemed null and void. The Supreme Court‘s website shows that docket file no. 12A606 was originally denied by Justice Anthony Kennedy, a Reagan appointee, on Dec. 13. On Jan. 9, Chief Justice Roberts sent Dr. Taitz’s application to the full court for a review scheduled for Feb. 15. Despite the lack of exposure from the mainstream media, the issue appears to have gained some steam among conservative bloggers. On Jan. 9, New York Times best-selling author Jerome Corsi suggested that the president’s nominee to head the Central Intelligence Agency, John Brennan, ma ...

"Our obligation is to define the liberty of all, not to mandate our own moral code." - Justice Anthony Kennedy (1992)

The Court, the Pope, and the Fight for Marriage Defenders of traditional marriage may not believe it, but the Supreme Court's apparent intention to decide two important same-sex marriage cases by midyear may be a stroke of good fortune for their side. This timing means the Supreme Court's first head-on tangle with this issue almost certainly will come before President Obama gets an opportunity to nominate another justice for the court and thereby probably tip its balance in favor of *** marriage. True, it would be foolish to predict what the court as presently constituted will do with the two cases now before it--one of them focused on the federal Defense of Marriage Act, the other on California's Proposition 8 barring same-sex marriage in that state. As so often before, Justice Anthony Kennedy appears to be the swing vote, and how Justice Kennedy will swing on DOMA and Proposition 8 is anybody's guess. Still, it's at least a possibility that the court will opt for a local option solution, leaving it to s ...

This is what Larry is up against in fact all possible innocents are up against this idiotic mentality! Leonel Herrera's attorneys tried to present proof of his innocence which emerged long after Texas's legal time limit for introducing new evidence had expired. Under Texas law, this period extends only 30 days after a defendant is sentenced. Thus, procedure, and running executions on time, IS placed above the discovering of truth in the state's law. At the oral argument on Oct. 7, Justice Anthony Kennedy asked Herrera's attorneys: " Suppose a videotape shows that a man convicted of murder by a jury is really innocent. WouId it violate the Constitution to allow the man to be executed?" Texas Assistant Attorney General Margaret P. Griffey promptly answered, "No Your Honor. It would not be a violation of the Constitution, under those cIrcumstances

“The remedy for speech that is false is speech that is true. This is the ordinary course in a free society. The response to the unreasoned is the rational; to the uninformed, the enlightened; to the straight out lie, the simple truth” - Justice Anthony Kennedy

I realized as I listened to Justice Anthony Kennedy speak who it is that guides the direction of this country at the very core of the government. The Supreme Court; 7 people who, while they may disagree with my positions, think in the same way I do and use the same general methods of reasoning, and ultimately decide upon what is allowed and not allowed by the rest of the government and people governed. I realized this as I listened to Justice Kennedy's talk on the constitution and democracy. He listed a series of philosophers off the top of his head who discussed and agreed with the statement he was making as part of his talk, and having read the same works he listed I understood exactly what he was saying and why he was saying it. Then I thought, so ... this is it then, these are the guys who give the little pushes and shoves that change the course of our Nation's ideas and behavior.

IF YOU DON'T VOTE WHAT DO YOU THINK WILL HAPPEN. With Election Day now upon us, it's worth weighing the impacts of a Mitt Romney win on reproductive rights and health care. In general, Romney seems likely to cater to the extreme anti-choice faction of his party. Here's a sneak preview of possible scenarios: 1. The Supreme Court gets more anti-choice. All of the abortion-related decisions on the court in recent history have been a 5-4 (or 4-5) split, with Justice Anthony Kennedy as the swing vote. The court has four justices in their 70s right now, which means that the next president could have one or more opportunities to appoint new members. Romney has made it clear that he would like to see Roe v. Wade overturned, and would appoint federal judges and Supreme Court justices that feel that way, too. Even if those appointees don't get to throw out Roe (at least, not right away), they could still make important decisions on state laws currently caught up in the court system, like laws requiring a sonogram b ...

Privacy, does it include inside your house? This question is under legal review by the U.S. Supreme Court in a case involving drug sniffing dogs, Franky and Aldo. Lawyer Glen P. Gifford argued "There is no canine exception to the totality of the circumstances test for probable cause to conduct a warrantless search ... " Lawyer Gregory Garre, who represented the state of Florida in both dog sniffing cases argued in Franky's case that since it wouldn't be illegal for a police officer to sniff for marijuana outside a door, it shouldn't be illegal for a dog like Franky to do the same thing. Justice Anthony Kennedy came down *** both sides in Franky's case, telling Garre that he won't accept his proposition that people with contraband inside their home don't have an expectation of privacy. "Don't ask me to write an opinion and say, oh, we're dealing with contraband here, so we don't need to worry about expectation of privacy," Kennedy said. Kennedy also told the opposing attorney he won't agree with his th ...

Congress did not act on a bill that would have required disclosure after Citizens United and other court rulings opened the door to secret political spending. To understand how all this happened, it's worth returning to Justice Anthony Kennedy's opinion [4] in Citizens United, and the political system the court envisioned. In the decision's key finding, Kennedy and four other justices said the First Amendment entitled corporations and unions to the same unlimited rights of political speech and spending as any citizen. But in a less-noticed portion of the ruling, Kennedy and seven of his colleagues upheld disclosure rules and emphasized the role of transparency. Undue corporate or union influence on elections, he wrote, could be addressed by informed voters and shareholders who would instantly access campaign finance facts from their laptops or smart phones. "With the advent of the Internet," Kennedy wrote, "prompt disclosure of expenditures can provide shareholders and citizens with the information needed ...

REASON WHY I VOTED FOR President Obama: Supreme Court - Romney win = drastic, and decades long, conservative turn in the fabric of this nation’s social policies. If Romney wins the presidency, he very likely would replace not only moderate conservative Justice Anthony Kennedy (76 yrs old) with someone closer to Alito, but he also would probably have the chance to replace either Ginsburg (79 y rs old) and/or Stephen Breyer (74 yrs old). He would also likely be able to replace Scalia (76 yrs old) with a like minded conservative. Basically one more conservative vote means the effective end of Roe v. Wade and the Commerce Clause. Replacing Breyer and Ginsburg with conservatives would possibly mean the end of the entire New Deal regulatory state. Three Romney appointees would mean conservative control of the Court for decades. It mean that the right of *** to marry will remain off the table. It will put an end to health care reform. Our country will remain far behind the rest of the world and a significant ...

Justice Anthony Kennedy talks about moral relativism.

Justice Anthony Kennedy worries about moral relativism and current generation’s dearth of civic knowledge

There’s no question a Romney presidency could spell the end of Roe v. Wade, President Obama said in an interview with Rolling Stone. Romney has said he’d like to see the Supreme Court overturn Roe v. Wade, the 1973 Supreme Court decision that said abortion is legal. And if he wins in November, he might be able to tilt the balance of the court to make that possible…The court currently has four solid conservatives and four solid liberals, with Justice Anthony Kennedy — a Republican appointee — serving as the most common swing vote. If a President Romney could replace even one justice, especially a liberal, most observers believe there would be five reliable votes against abortion rights.”

Chasing down threads of intellectual curiosity by studying the current Supreme Court Justices and their leanings. Liberal Justice Ruth Ginsburg, appointed by Clinton, is 79 years old, and her replacement will be decided by the next President. Conservative Justice Anthony Kennedy is 76, so there may be another vacancy if he retires. Both of these seats need to be filled with progressive Judges in order to preserve the idealogical balance, as the Supreme Court continues to gain political power over the other branches of government. Most people don't realize how much power the Supreme Court has over our nation's destiny, and over our everyday lives. *** most people don't even know who the Supreme Court is!

The US Supreme Court opens its 2012-2013 term Monday with Justice Anthony Kennedy again the likely swing vote. But given his vote on the Affordable Care Act, Chief Justice John Roberts may not be predictably conservative either.

Conservatives warily ponder prospect of an 'Obama court'Both on the Supreme Court – where “swing vote” Justice Anthony Kennedy and conservative Justice Antonin Scalia are age 76 – and on the courts of appeal, where there are now 14 vacancies, Obama would be able to nudge the courts in a progressive direction if he wins a second term.The potential impact of the next president on the Supreme Court is immense,” said Carrie Severino, the chief counsel and policy director at the Judicial Crisis Network, a right-of-center advocacy group. “There could easily be three nominations during the next term. … Most people expect there to be at least one vacancy.” She said if Obama were re-elected and got three more high court nominations, “that would put him in the position of having nominated the majority of the justices on the Supreme Court. That’s an incredible influence over the way the court shapes American society.” (One of the comments to this story) "6 months ago, I wouldn't have dreamed I' ...

9/21/12 - One of the most important issues to be settled by this presidential election is this: whomever we elect as president in November will choose at least one new Supreme Court member and possibly as many as five, and perhaps a hundred federal court judges. All will have life tenure. All of them will affect our lives by their decisions, for many years. Regarding Suprme Court justices, here are a few things to consider; 1) Justice Antonin Scalia is 78, 2) Justice Anthony Kennedy is 78, 3) Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is 81, and she has been suffering from Pancreativc Cancer, 4) Justice Breyer is 76, 6) Justice Stevens announced he'll retire but not until after Obama is re-elected.

The Supreme Court of the United States of America has no moral compass. A majority of justices view a strip-search for something as trivial as failing to use a turn signal as perfectly acceptable. How dare they violate our most basic and moral freedom to be secure in our person. Justice Anthony Kennedy wrote that "people detained for minor offense can turn out to be the most devious and dangerous criminals," The ridiculousness of this argument is almost breathtaking, completely overturning the idea that a person is innocent until judged guilty by a jury. The decision to allow strip-searches strikes me as a judicial assault on human dignity which only a conservative court could consider because the court no longer believes that we citizens are anything more than animals that need to be kept under control, while corporations are somehow more equal, would never be strip searched, never murder or receive capital punishment, never bribe politicians with massive contributions to campaign war chests, or subvert ...

The outcome can be laid at no door but ours. The hard fact is that sometimes we must make decisions we do not like. We make them because they are right, right in the sense that the law and the Constitution, as we see them, compel the result. And so great is our commitment to the process that, except in the rare case, we do not pause to express distaste for the result, perhaps for fear of undermining a valued principle that dictates the decision. This is one of those rare cases. Though symbols often are what we ourselves make of them, the flag is constant in expressing beliefs Americans share, beliefs i ...

The more I mull over Justice Anthony Kennedy's decision that the health care mandate is not a requirement to purchase insurance, but rather a tax, the more I believe that he is unqualified to serve on the Supreme Court. His deciding vote--that which held-up a decision for months-- stated that the government was not mandating you to purchase anything, but is rather a tax, is ludicrous. If it is a tax levied upon you for failure to purchase or even afford health insurance, then it is a fine for not doing so, which means you are forced into a financial situation which is unrealistic. I therefore assert that Justice Kennedy was paid off, either by the administration or by the insurance industry, which has made hefty donations to the president. To quote: "Something is rotten in the state of Denmark," Denmark being Washington D.C.

Mitch McConnell fundamentally mischaracterizes the relationship between the Supreme Court and other branches of our government. By intimating that it is illegitimate for the legislative and executive branches to develop policy in response to Supreme Court decisions, the Senate leader displays ignorance of the basic hydraulics in the founders’ system of separated powers. “The First Amendment protects political speech,” Justice Anthony Kennedy wrote for the majority, “and disclosure permits citizens and shareholders to react to the speech of corporate entities in a proper way.” McConnell, by arguing that disclosure undermines the First Amendment, is in fact turning Citizens United on its head.

Supreme Court Ruling - Last Thursday's shocking ruling by the Roberts court, declaring the Affordable Care Act constitutional, has, as Justice Anthony Kennedy warned, fundamentally changed the relationship between government and the American people.

Sources: Roberts Switched Views Chief Justice John Roberts initially wanted to overturn the health-care act but later changed his position and formed an alliance with the court’s four liberal justices, two sources said on Monday. After deciding to uphold the Affordable Care Act, Roberts then had to undergo a monthlong campaign by the court’s four conservative justices to change his mind. In a strange twist, Justice Anthony Kennedy—the man that many thought would be the swing vote—was reportedly “relentless” in trying to get Roberts to side with the conservative justices. The conservatives refused to join any aspect of Roberts’ opinion, and then crafted a highly unusual unsigned joint dissent.

How ironic is it that Justice Anthony Kennedy, a Liberal on the court, spent a month trying to get CJ Roberts to uphold the Constitution!

"If all inactivity affecting commerce is commerce, commerce is everything." ~ Justice Anthony Kennedy

"The fragmentation of power produced by the structure of our government is central to liberty, and when we destroy it, we place liberty in peril. Today's decision should have vindicated, should have taught, this truth; instead our judgment today has disregarded it." - Justice Anthony Kennedy, June 28, 2012.

I think it is pretty clear at this point; Associate Justice Anthony Kennedy is not a moderate. Not after the last few years.

Amen! MT “It is a grave mistake to retain a policy just because a court finds it constitutional." Justice Anthony Kennedy

Seems like a good week to congratulate Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy on becoming President of the United States.

Congress' power to tax, not it's duty to regulate commerce by forcing individuals to participate tips the scales of justice. I understand the interpretation. [Chief Justice] Roberts stressed that the decision does not speak to the merits of the law. "We do not consider whether the act embodies sound policies. That judgment is entrusted to the nation's elected leaders," he said. Justice Anthony Kennedy, who was thought to be the swing vote on the decision, joined the minority in describing the whole law as invalid. "The act is invalid in its entirety," Kennedy said from the bench. He went on to say the administration went to "great lengths to structure the mandate as a penalty, not a tax" -- challenging the majority's rationale for upholding the mandate. Sounds like the '9' didn't like the law much at all, but made the honorable decision to do their job, and interpret the law, not the policy, however misguided the policy may be. We've elected a government that does not focus on managing nor living within ...

"The Rant" by Tom Degan: Roberts? ROBERTS???: Justice Anthony Kennedy would side with the right wing junta that ...

What the Supreme Court did. Even the Supreme Court says this is a TAX. "That vindicates everything that we who have been leading the constitutional challenge have been saying: The government cannot regulate inactivity. It cannot, as Chief Justice John Roberts put it in summarizing his opinion from the bench, regulate mere existence." THEN THEY CHANGED THE LAW TO READ. "Justifying the individual mandate under the taxing power of Congress, however, in no way rehabilitates the government's constitutional excesses." As Justice Anthony Kennedy said in summarizing his four-justice dissent, "Structure means liberty." If Congress can avoid the Constitution's structural limits simply by "taxing" anything it doesn't like, its power is no more limited than it would be had it done so under the Commerce Clause.

"In our view, the entire act before us is invalid in its entirety" - Chief Justice Anthony Kennedy

Justice Anthony Kennedy is NOT a swing vote.

Justice Anthony Kennedy on ObamaCare: "the entire Act before us is invalid in its entirety." : --

"On the Medicaid expansion, this was Robert's key quote, "Nothing in our opinion precludes Congress from offering funds under the ACA to expand the availability of health care, and requiring that states accepting such funds comply with the conditions on their use. What Congress is not free to do is to penalize States that choose not to participate in that new program by taking away their existing Medicaid funding." In other words, it remains to be seen if red states will still be able to thumb their noses at the Obama administration and Congress and not implement the Medicaid expansion--such as opening clinics in underserved areas--without losing any funds for its other existing Medicaid programs. Reading from the bench, Justice Anthony Kennedy made it clear that he--and presumably the other conservative judges would have thrown out the entire law."

During arguments concerning the individual mandate portion of ObamaCare, Justice Anthony Kennedy said the law appeared to "change the relationship between the government and the individual in a profound way." Verily. The view of what government is supposed to be has morphed significantly from that of an entity whom is responsible only for providing a standing military for protection, infrastructure, liberty for individuals, and the absence of anarchy. Too many people now believe that the government should be their rich uncle benefactor that provides a safety net. What the government is becoming is more like big brother. We will be kissing liberty and economic prosperity goodbye soon if we stay on this path. The end result will be government intrusion into our daily lives and a worse standard of living for everyone after we have sucked dry the revenue generators in our economy. If you believe you have the "right" to free health care, a free nanny for your kids, free food, and a free cell phone, you ar ...

In brief comments Thursday afternoon, Obama called the decision a win for Americans. "With today's announcement it is time for us to move forward to implement and, where necessary, to improve this law," he said. Mitt Romney told reporters shortly before noon that he would repeal the law his first day in office if elected. "ObamaCare was bad policy yesterday, it's bad policy today," he said. The court's four liberal justices agreed that the individual mandate should be upheld as part of Congress' power to regulate interstate commerce, but Roberts disagreed, and wrote that the mandate is actually a tax, despite the Obama administration's reluctance to describe it that way during the bill's passage. In its argument to the court, the government left open the possibility that the mandate is a tax, but did not rely much on that argument. Under the law, people who do not have health insurance will have to pay 1 percent of their income to the IRS starting in 2014. (There are exceptions for some religious beliefs ...

That was the upshot of the Supreme Court's complex decision on Thursday, led by Chief Justice John Roberts, upholding the core of President Obama's landmark health care overhaul, while simultaneously embracing potentially significant new limits on the sweep of the Federal Government's authority to regulate commerce and spend money. In a splintered decision, Roberts and the court's four more liberal justices held that the insurance mandate was nothing more than a tax on people who did not have health coverage, and that the Constitution gives Congress the ability to impose those types of taxes. But Roberts also joined the court's conservatives and Justice Anthony Kennedy in finding that Congress' separate power to regulate commerce did not give lawmakers the authority to force people to buy insurance if they don't want to. And he joined six other justices in saying that Congress could not use its checkbook to coerce state officials into going along with policies they don't like, the first time in more than ...

The Arizona decision will keep the issue front and center in the presidential campaign

Breaking from Newsmax.com High Court Splits on Ariz. Immigration Law The Supreme Court upheld a key part of Arizona's crackdown on illegal immigrants on Monday, rejecting the Obama administration's stance that only the Federal Government should enforce immigration laws in the United States. The nation's highest court, in an opinion by Justice Anthony Kennedy, unanimously upheld the state law's most controversial aspect, requiring police officers to check the immigration status of people they stop. But in a split decision, the justices also ruled that the three other challenged provisions went too far in intruding on federal law, including one that makes it a crime for illegal immigrants to work and another that requires them to carry their documents.

The high court upheld the part of the law that asked police to check the immigration status of those stopped for another violation.

Today, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled majority in favor of the Federal Government in the case of Arizona immigration law.

The Supreme Court, as expected, didn’t rule on health care on Thursday, but it did rule on an important case involving nudity and cursing that included the F-word, Cher and George Carlin in its decision.

The Supreme Court today unanimously ruled in favor of broadcasters who say they are unfairly punished for "isolated moments" of obscenity and profanity that slip onto the airwaves. In an 8-0 vote, justices concluded the Federal Communications Commission cannot enforce its current policies against "fleeting" expletives and nudity on over-the-air programs, both live and scripted. The agency had levied hefty fines on all four major broadcasters beginning nearly a decade ago. The court's ruling establishes important First Amendment guidelines over explicit content on the airwaves. "The commission failed to give Fox or ABC fair notice prior to the broadcasts in question that fleeting expletives and momentary nudity could be found actionably indecent," Justice Anthony Kennedy wrote for the majority. The Justice Department had filed an appeal, and helpfully provided the justices with a DVD of a 2003 episode of the now-canceled "NYPD Blue" on ABC in which a naked woman was shown. The content of that program is ce ...

Is anyone watching??? See Politico.com - List political ads' sponsors on Web By: Newton Minow and Henry Geller June 11, 2012 09:40 PM EDT A House appropriations subcommittee last week prohibited the Federal Communications Commission from doing its job. The FCC, by law, has long required broadcasters to maintain at the station public files about all political ads sold — including information about the names of sponsors or names of executives or board of directors of sponsoring entities, the amount paid and the time slot. The FCC, finally recognizing the 21st century, ordered in late April that major TV stations in large markets had to make this information available on the Internet — so the public has ready access. The National Association of Broadcasters, however, opposes this crucial advance. The group has already taken its case to the courts and to Congress — as is its right. The broadcasters’ argument is that posting this information online is too burdensome and that it applies only to major te ...

Incidentally this is NOT an overstatement of this man's power and influence.
