Kennedy the swing vote shaping the Supreme Court
Washington Post columnist David Broder chronicles how Anthony Kennedy, a third choice for Reagan, became the court’s pivotal figure. From 1987 to 2007 his decisions limited the death penalty, expanded access to federal courts for terrorism suspects, and served as the deciding vote in gun rights, campaign finance, and family of cases. Kennedy’s blend of conservatism and independence defined the modern court.
