Retirement rumors swirl as Court nears hiatus
The Supreme Court heads into a summer break with a decision in a church and state case and anticipated action on the travel ban. Rumors persist that Justice Kennedy may retire, which would shift the court's balance to conservatives. Kennedy, turning 81 next month, has served nearly 30 years, and a Kennedy departure could enable a conservative tilt. Clerks note talk of stepping down, though Kennedy has shown no public retirement signs. Also looming is a ruling on whether Trump nominee Neil Gorsuch could influence decisions on the travel ban and church playground funding. The eight-justice court could reargue six immigration related cases in the fall if needed.
