Anthony M. Kennedy, one of the Supreme Court's most consequential modern-day justices and author of landmark rulings on gay rights, the death penalty and campaign finance, has announced his retirement, handing President Donald Trump a historic opportunity to reshape the court.⠀

Justice Kennedy, a maverick conservative, told his colleagues of his decision after they stepped off the bench Wednesday for the final time in the court's current term. ⠀

He spent much of his 30-year tenure at the ideological center of a deeply divided court, with his judicial leanings often leaving him in play for both sides.⠀

A native of Sacramento, Calif., Justice Kennedy was confirmed by the Senate in a 97-0 vote and joined the court in 1988 after his nomination by President Ronald Reagan. ⠀

The 81-year-old's decision to step down marks a seismic event in the nation's capital, one certain to create an impassioned political battle over the high court.⠀
