 | | While Kennedy has joined the conservative wing of the Court in most cases such as Stenberg v. | | | Kennedy has also taken a somewhat liberal approach to issues involving the death penalty. | | | In 1992, Kennedy joined O'Connor and David Souter to form the troika who delivered the plurality opinion in the case of Planned Parenthood v. |

| | Kennedy's tenure on the Court thus far suggests that his mild, friendly manner is a potent tool for building majorities. | | | His approach to teaching constitutional law was largely historical, and he devoted a substantial part of the course to cases decided under the Commerce Clause of the Constitution. | | | Such a "search" without a warrant or any particularized suspicion of an employee was justified, he reasoned, by the government's interest in the integrity of the law enforcement process. |

| | With Alito, Kennedy would have pivotal role - The Boston Globe |
| | Kennedy is a mainstream conservative with a libertarian streak and a belief in federalism, a philosophy that restrains Congress from imposing some laws on states. | | | One of those issues, legal scholars agree, concerns the restrictions that may be imposed on abortion access. | | | Specialists also noted that Kennedy has been more willing than O'Connor to strike down restrictions on campaign financing as violations of free speech, another issue that has divided the court. |

| | High court justice crusades for mercy / He calls sentences too severe, too long |
| | Kennedy, 67, a Sacramento native appointed to the court by President Ronald Reagan in 1988, usually votes with the court's conservative bloc but is known to switch sides in cases involving free speech and some social issues. | | | Kennedy also said the ABA should seek to "reinvigorate the pardon process" for state and federal prisoners. | | | Mandatory-minimum sentences are an increasingly common feature of federal laws, particularly drug laws, and require prison terms of a specified number of years for defendants convicted of particular crimes, regardless of the sentencing judge's views. |

| | Kennedy was expected to be another vote to overturn Roe when he was approved for the court, but he sided with the 6-3 majority in upholding the central tenants of Roe v. | | | Kennedy joined with former Chief Justice William Rehnquist and pro-life Justices Clarence Thomas and Antonin Scalia to provide a fourth vote to uphold the pro-life measure. | | | Both cases involve the health exception issue that dominated the debate on the Nebraska ban and Kennedy could easily be the swing vote if he joined new Chief Justice John Roberts, Alito, Thomas and Scalia to uphold the two pro-life laws at issue. |

| | Latest News - Justice Anthony M. Kennedy: End Minimum Sentences |
| | Kennedy's call, in a speech prepared for delivery to the American Bar Association in San Francisco, is surprising, coming from a justice who is generally conservative on criminal justice issues. | | | Kennedy also urged the ABA to consider working to extend pardons for state and federal prisoners serving harsh terms. | | | Another problem, according to Justice Kennedy, is that prosecutors can essentially dictate a sentence by deciding whether to bring charges that carry mandatory minimums. |

| | It is thus a mark of scary times that I found myself in such agreement with so many words, concerning such important issues, that came from Kennedy’s mouth on the second day of the confirmation hearings for Supreme Court nominee Samuel Alito. | | | In today’s conservative lingo, it is “judicial activism” when the courts do anything the right doesn’t like — even when it is presidential activism that they are challenging. | | | But we need justices who can examine this issue objectively, independently and fairly. |
