Abstract

The article focuses on former US Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy's concerns regarding partisanship in the Supreme Court and the nomination process. Kennedy, who retired in 2018, criticized the Senate for prioritizing political affiliation over qualities such as temperament and independence when confirming justices. He expressed worries about the decline of civil discourse in the nation, noting that this issue is reflected in dissenting opinions that attack opposing views. Kennedy, known for his moderate stance and pivotal swing votes, emphasized the importance of maintaining respect in public dialogue, particularly as the US serves as a global example of democracy.
