Justice Kennedy is retiring and much of Twitter thinks we're doomed
In a stunning development, Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy announced his impending retirement from the nation's highest court on Wednesday. His retirement will be effective at the end of July, throwing a large portion of the country into despair at the the thought of Donald Trump getting a secondSCOTUS nomination.

The new appointment would, presumably, give Trump a solid 5-4 edge on the court since Kennedy was often a swing vote on decisions, sometimes voting with liberal justices on issues such as gay rights and abortion (though his political affiliation and timing are surely tied together).
There is, of course, a chance that Democrats and some anti-Trump Republicans are able to continually block this nominee, much like Sen. Mitch McConnell and the GOP did for then-President Obama's nomination of Merrick Garland in 2016.
In the meantime, many Twitter users who fear what hound of Hell Trump may nominate to replace Kennedy and do away with things like abortion and voting rights are expressing their anguish on Twitter in pretty succinct terms.
