Kennedy's appearance at the 9th Circuit Judicial Conference comes shortly after the nation's highest court put an end to same-sex marriage bans in the 14 states that still maintained them and provided an exclamation point for breathtaking changes in the nation's social norms in recent years.

Kennedy The Coward

Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa arrives for a committee hearing on Capitol Hill in Washington, Tuesday, Feb. 23, 2016. Senate Republicans, most vocally Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, are facing a high-stakes political showdown with President Barack Obama sparked by the recent death of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia. Republicans controlling the Senate — which must confirm any Obama appointee before the individual is seated on the court — say that the decision is too important to be determined by a lame-duck president.

With Monday’s vote for the federal judge from Philadelphia, the Senate will have cleared its to-do list of nominees to the powerful appeals courts. Nine vacancies will remain, but President Barack Obama has yet to nominate individuals for those posts. "We’re moving at a reasonable pace," said Grassley, in a scrap with Sen. Chuck Schumer last year. (AP Photo/Jacquelyn Martin, File) (AP)

It’s a strategy that has historically worked well for the GOP, particularly at times when voters are on edge about the country’s safety, as many are now. He faces Democratic U.S. Rep. Tammy Duckworth in the November election. (AP Photo/M. Spencer Green, File) (AP)
