So Anthony KENNEDY gave a final twist of the knife...

Was pictured as a sponsor at the swearing in. I didn't look up at the scene, clicked away from it, and will spare us all by not looking it up to post here.

Well, "final" - nah, will be twisting for 30 years.

I repeated what I heard without looking. I'm sorry I was forced to look it up. KENNEDY participated, still a twist for me.

Trump's business career is more connected to Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy than we ever knew

Deutsche Bank loaned President Donald Trump over $1 billion for his real-estate projects while Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy's son led a real-estate division there, The New York Times reported Thursday.

Justin Kennedy was the global head of the real-estate capital markets division of Deutsche Bank, which loaned to Trump when other banks wouldn't.

"Just to state this: Justice Kennedy’s son gave a billion dollar loan to Trump when no one would give him a dime, and Justice Kennedy has been ruling in favor of the Trump Administration position for 2 years as the Court decides 5-4 case after 5-4 case.”
