Former Justice Kennedy says ‘democracy is at risk’

Thursday, June 26, 2025

"Many in the rest of the world look to the United States to see what democracy is, to see what democracy ought to be," Kennedy said during an online forum about threats to the rule of law. "If they see a hostile, fractious discourse, if they see a discourse that uses identity politics rather than to talk about issues, democracy is at risk. Freedom is at risk."

Justice Kennedy ought to know.
He helped put it at risk.

Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy, the man who stepped down so Trump could appoint Kavanaugh.

He needs to shut up, he's responsible for the fate of this nation.

Message for Kennedy from the late Bob Haldeman: "T-squared, L-squared."*
