CNN’s Toobin: It’s Not an ‘Overreading’ of Justice Kennedy’s Opinion as a ‘Shot’ at Trump

EXCERPT:

TOOBIN: "He says — he talks about how the First Amendment is so important, and he writes, 'It is an urgent necessity that officials adhere to these constitutional guarantees and mandates in all their actions, even in the sphere of foreign affairs. An anxious world must know that our government remains committed always to the liberties the Constitution seeks to preserve and protect so that freedom extends outward and lasts.' I don’t think it is an overreading of that to read it as a shot at Donald Trump, to read it as saying, 'You know what? Presidents need to speak in a way that reflects the constitutional values of the United States.' Anthony Kennedy is not just any justice on this court. He is the most important justice in terms of the outcome of the — of cases, he’s also 81 years old and we’re waiting anxiously to learn whether he retires at the end of this year and hands his precious seat on the court to Donald Trump to fill. This message suggests a certain degree of unhappiness with Donald Trump."
