Larry Beinart at Al-Jazeera explodes it head-on.
“When it comes to money and power,” Kennedy had been “an agent of the top one percent in its class warfare against the rest.”
Justice Kennedy voted against democracy over and over again, and last week was just the lallapalooza icing on the cake.
As Beinart writes: “His final act, timing his retirement so that Trump could select his replacement and Mitch McConnell still had control of the Senate to ram it through, is compelling testimony that he was committed, above all, to transferring as much power and wealth to the right, to corporations, and to the rich, as he possibly could.”
