D.A. King, the head of an Atlanta-area group that opposes illegal immigration, heard word of Justice Anthony M. Kennedy\u2019s retirement<\/a>while vacationing on St. Simons Island, off the Georgia coast. He was elated thinking of the conservative who might replace him.<\/p>\n

In West Hollywood, Curtis Collins was working out at Barry\u2019s Bootcamp, and he said the Supreme Court justice\u2019s announcement dominated the Wednesday afternoon conversation among the predominantly gay group of men exercising there. \u201cEverybody was talking about it, how appalling it was,\u201d he said. \u201cEveryone was saying they were scared. We don\u2019t normally talk about politics in there.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
