Holy fuck. Justice Kennedy is retiring. Fuck. Just fuck.

That truly sucks for most American citizens, in my opinion. But, it's not really surprising.
Kennedy is the most moderate (and rational, to me) of the judges. He sometimes votes with the conservative judges and sometimes votes with liberal ones, depending on the case facts and implications.
His retirement definitely lines the U.S. up to become more conservative in laws and policies, many of them based on religious beliefs, for years to come.
