Just moments ago, President Trump nominated Judge Brett Kavanaugh of the DC Circuit Court of Appeals to be the next Associate Justice of the Supreme Court.

The nomination of Judge Kavanaugh to fill the vacancy created with the retirement of Justice Anthony Kennedy is a superb choice who is certain to serve this nation well.  Judge Kavanaugh is a brilliant jurist who embraces the philosophy of our Founders – an unwavering commitment to the rule of law and the Constitution.

We expect the Senate to exercise its constitutional duty to provide "advice and consent" without delay.  While there is certain to be biased and vitriolic political attacks directed at this nominee, we believe Judge Kavanaugh’s character, experience, and judicial temperament will be well received by the American people.

We are confident that the Senate will confirm Judge Kavanaugh, and we look forward to Judge Kavanaugh being seated in time for the start of the Supreme Court’s new term in October.
