Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy resigns – here’s President Trump’s Supreme Court list

As if the Democrats Hadn’t had enough bad news from the Supreme Court this week, Justice Anthony Kennedy has announced his retirement. That means President Trump will get another bite at the SCOTUS apple -something which is sure to send leftists everywhere into anaphylactic shock. If you thought they were unhinged before, I suspect “we ain’t seen nothin’ yet.”

Below is the message from Justice Kennedy …And this may be a good time to once again examine the President’s list of potential Supreme Court nominees:

• Amy Coney Barrett of Indiana, U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit
• Keith Blackwell of Georgia, Supreme Court of Georgia
• Charles Canady of Florida, Supreme Court of Florida
• Steven Colloton of Iowa, U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit
