Sen. John Kennedy of Louisiana is proving that age is just a number, as he continues to be an outspoken and sharp advocate in the Senate. As a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Kennedy has been countering the attacks on the Supreme Court by his Democrat colleagues. He recently appeared on Fox News and perfectly summed up the Democrats’ “Supreme Court ethics reform” efforts. Comparing his colleagues to petulant high schoolers who don’t get their way, Kennedy called out their true motivations behind the reform attempts.
"Do I think there are members of the United States Supreme Court who are bought, or who could be bought, with a vacation? The short answer is 'no' and the long answer is 'hell, no.'"

Kennedy believes that this legislation is not about ethics, but rather about issues such as abortion, student debt, and racial quotas. He accuses his colleagues of being angry at the Supreme Court and wanting to hurt it. While they may not be able to expand the Court, Kennedy believes they are trying to destroy it from within. He also defended the current code of conduct for Supreme Court justices, stating that he believes it is a good code and that allegations of justices being bought with vacations are baseless.
Kennedy’s sharp and witty remarks have made him a popular figure in Louisiana, where he has consistently won over voters. His popularity is so strong that his potential run for governor has deterred other candidates from entering the race. Kennedy will continue to be a force in Washington, D.C., until he decides to retire. It’s clear that his constituents and supporters value his straightforward and unapologetic approach to politics.
