On June 27, Justice Anthony Kennedy announced he would step down from the #SupremeCourt, taking with him the unique moderating role he has played in America for three decades. The last swing voter on the court, he sought—often to the frustration of everyone around him—to find compromise between competing ideals and, at times, ideologies. What remained of that world is about to come crashing down. Some 30 minutes after the 81-year-old met with President Trump in person at the White House, his resignation became news, and preparations for battle broke out across Washington. Leonard Leo, Trump’s top outside adviser on judicial nominations, told TIME that the President could announce a nominee in the next two to three weeks. The timing would put Trump on track to potentially seat his second Justice by Oct. 1—the start of the next high-court term, and before the midterm elections could alter the Republican majority in the Senate. Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell, who orchestrated the GOP blockade of President Obama’s nomination of Merrick Garland to the court on the grounds that a new Justice should not be confirmed in an election year, said he had no such reservations this time. Immediately following Kennedy’s decision, which had been rumored for months, conservative groups sprang into action. The political machine is ready to run ads, knock on doors and make phone calls to pressure Senators. The effort also aims to energize conservatives who might otherwise have sat out this November’s elections but now see a solid conservative majority on the nation’s highest court as more than a theoretical prospect. “We knew this day was coming. We have plans on the shelf,” says a GOP official. “We are Republicans. This has been our dream for years.” Read this week's full cover story on TIME.com. TIME Photo-illustration.
