- 6 years ago
U.S. President Donald Trump has announced Brett Kavanaugh as his nominee for the U.S. Supreme Court.
Trump's decision to nominate the federal appeals court judge..... for the position at the U.S. Supreme Court.... appears to be aimed at securing long-term conservative control of the court.
At the age of 53,.... Judge Kavanaugh could potentially serve on the Supreme Court for decades to come.
If confirmed by the Senate,.... where the Republicans hold a slim majority,.... Kavanaugh would replace Justice Anthony Kennedy... who had held the swing vote in many close cases on issues such as.... abortion, gay rights and death penalty.
