How often does Anthony KENNEDY actually go Left with his supposedly swing votes?

Only the big Big votes filter to my level, and like with that past other supposed "swing" voter O'CONNOR, it seems that he is almost always on the Neanderthal side, especially when it really counts.

Can anybody enlighten me about what his reputation for being a swing vote is based on that it benefited the Left?

He is way conservative and even regressive, its just that more recent fools are more radical. TheKentuckian Jun 2013 #4

In no small part, a piece of the frame job being worked to shrink the political spectrum to near nothing.

Once Anthony Kennedy becomes "moderate" the whole conversation is in the toilet, at best.

Kennedy is also something like sane, lucid, and not openly vested in the dark arts so he kinda separates from the fell four but one must never forget he is far right.
