'Kennedy's Court': Meet 80-year-old Supreme Court justice Anthony Kennedy, who's rumored to retire soon

But the 80-year-old justice could still declare he's retiring later this summer, as former Justice Sandra Day O'Connor did in 2005. That year, the Court adjourned June 27, and she issued a press release on July 1.
A conservative who can lean moderate in cases that concern individual freedoms, Kennedy has often provided the deciding fifth vote on cases without a clear majority. As someone who has frequently voted to support women's and LGBT rights, Kennedy's absence could definitively swing the Supreme Court to the right.
Here is a look at the Supreme Court justice who often shifted the balance on some of the court's most controversial cases - so much so that many have even called it "Kennedy's Court."
