Edited to add -BMA backs referendum on final Brexit deal, saying leaving EU poses 'major threat' to health (Politics Live, Guardian)
I wonder if that will have any effect on public opinion? Might frighten a good few - I know it does me (but, then again, it always has done since all this started).

Re: Wednesday 27th June 2018
Justice Anthony Kennedy of the US Supreme Court is retiring. He was appointed by Reagan, and I don't claim great expertise here but it seems he has been quite similar to the man he replaced - a judicial conservative with something of a conscience who can be swayed and has often been the swing vote in more liberal decisions.
Just as the Republicans insisted that Scalia be replaced by a proper conservative voice, so I'm sure they will make certain that Kennedy is replaced by a more reliable proper conservative voice to give the court a clear conservative majority. I'm aware that sentence doesn't make sense but there you go.
Of course in reality the Senate should decline to consider a nomination given that they're in the last six months of the current term.
