Retiring SCOTUS Justice was formerly a ‘swing vote’ but since Trump took office has sided with administration on 14 of 14 close decisions.
Supreme Court Justice Kennedy, who as The Inquisitr reported, announced his retirement this week, had long been known as a “swing vote” on the court, voting consistently neither with the court’s conservative nor liberal wing, and as a result he was frequently the deciding vote on closely contested cases that split the court along ideological lines.
As it turned out, Deutsche Bank proved to be a vital financial lifeline for Trump.
“During (Justin) Kennedy’s tenure, Deutsche Bank became Mr. Trump’s most important lender, dispensing well over $1 billion in loans to him for the renovation and construction of skyscrapers in New York and Chicago at a time other mainstream banks were wary of doing business with him because of his troubled business history,” The New York Times reported in its story about Trump’s relationship with Justice Anthony Kennedy on Thursday.
“Your kids have been very nice to him,” the Supreme Court Justice replied.
“Well, they love him, and they love him in New York,” Trump told the justice.
