Trump taps federal appeals court Judge Brett Kavanaugh for Supreme Court
msn ^ | July 9, 2018

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump on Monday nominated Brett Kavanaugh, a federal appeals court judge in Washington, to succeed Anthony Kennedy on the Supreme Court. Trump made the announcement at the White House. NBC News broke the story shortly before the president's made his choice public. Kavanaugh serves on the Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, which often rules on major challenges to federal laws and policies. If confirmed, he would make the Supreme Court solidly conservative, joining Chief Justice John Roberts and Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, and Neil Gorsuch — providing a five-vote majority.

Trad or Novus Ordo?

It makes a HUGE difference.

God Bless Brett!

He is certainly making sure the Senate knows he is proud of his Catholic Faith.

I’ll just bet he has a few choice responses ready for religious bigot DiFi.

I’d like to see a list of important decisions he’s authored.

I like him!

Good thing Joe Biden wasn’t there, he left his wife and two daughters unprotected for quite some time.

We now need to unite and support President Trump’s selection. God knows there will be plenty of opposition from the other side.

Chief (IN)Justice Roberts is damaged goods. He’ll be just like the windsock who’s retiring.

Solid choice. And hopefully a nomination that passes muster with a majority of the Senate (i.e. GOP and red state Dem votes have already been lined up).

I strongly preferred Kethledge (as conservative and more confirmable), but now that Pres. Trump has selected Kavanaugh, we must support his confirmation 100%.

This is who I was praying it would be.
He’s a known known.
He will be solid.

I kinda wish it was Amy Coney Barrett, but IMO Pres. Trump is keeping her in reserve for whenever Ruth Buzze Ginsberg takes her final snooze.

Sure hope this works and that we don’t see Souter 2.0.

Hope he does not turn out to be a disappointment like Roberts, Kennedy and Souter.

Kavanaugh is a better pick than a couple of the other finalists IMHO.

Never know how people will turn out. Could be another Souter or O'Conner, but as far as can be discerned he seems like a solid pick.
