"" It's unimaginable that we do not have a majority in the world. serving as a Supreme Court justice for years after Trump, "he says.

"While Kennedy was a Conservative, he often voted with his progressive colleagues on social issues."

Conservative judges in federal courts will be Trump's most enduring legacy that will shape the United States for decades. decades
