Abner Greene was quoted in a Daily Beast article about the potential impact of Justice Anthony Kennedy’s retirement from the Supreme Court.
The replacement of Kennedy will have a profound impact on the course of U.S. policy for decades to come. Though the associate justice had sided consistently with conservatives during the latest round of cases, his vote was still been considered reliably centrist. And, according to Abner Greene, a constitutional law professor at Fordham University, the jurisprudence of whoever replaces him would potentially impact three massive areas of the law: gay rights, capital punishment, and abortion.
