Retired Justice Anthony Kennedy, 88, warned on Oct. 8, 2025, that political hostility is undermining the Supreme Court and democracy.
Retired Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy, 88, expressed concern on October 8, 2025, about the increasingly hostile and partisan tone in American politics, particularly during the Trump era, warning it has seeped into the Supreme Court.
In an interview ahead of his memoir “Life, Law & Liberty,” he criticized personal attacks in recent opinions, urging justices to focus on legal reasoning rather than colleagues’ character.
He lamented the decline in civil discourse, citing inflammatory rhetoric from public figures and expressing worry about the nation’s democratic future as it nears its 250th anniversary.
Though he did not name specific justices or cases, Kennedy voiced unease over the court’s shift to the right and the overturning of several landmark decisions he helped shape, including those on abortion and same-sex marriage.
The memoir, co-written with Joan Didion, reflects on his career and personal grief, including the death of his son.
