"Yesterday, 22 States were on one side, 28 on the other (ignoring a couple of inbetweeners). Today, that healthy—that democratic—debate ends. The majority has adjudged who should prevail." – Justice Kagan

Adam Bowler passed away yesterday. Boyd Law grad from 2004. Worked at KKBR, DLA Piper and Focus Group in Las Vegas. Had been sick for a while, but leaves a wife and kids behind.

I had the pleasure of working with Adam for some time. He was a good, kind man and attorney. A true gentle giant, with a great sense of humor. And, his love and knowledge of timepieces was unparalleled. Thoughts and prayers to his family and loved ones. RIP big guy.

Polsenberg, Henriod and Smith are normally on cases together as the appellate issues group, and Lief is likely the trial attorney.

What a Blessing that President Trump will be able to appoint a Justice who actually enforces the Constitution. I hope he/she will be a little more conservative than Gorsuch but even if the same, I'd be OK with that.

I reaaally don't understand the Messiah complex you jackasses have with Trump. And I'm speaking as a Republican.

Strict Constructionist would be a great early-80s punk band name.

James Buchanan considered himself a "strict constructionist." So did Herbert Hoover. Nice presidential role models.

It's too bad Obama wasn't more middle of the road instead of a puppet of Putin. If he had been a moderate, surely Kennedy and others would have retired so the Court could be stacked with normal thinking jurists. Now we will be stuck with a bunch of Trumpaloons!

Are you saying Garland wasn't a moderate pick?

Obama would not have nominated him if he were. Unlike Reps, Dems don't make SCOTUS vetting errors. I'll give them that.

So all of the "Thanks Obama" memes are coming back because Justice Kennedy retired?

Are you really suggesting that Obama was more of a puppet than Trump is?
