Lily Philips- Trump nominates Kavanaugh for Supreme Court Justice

President Donald Trump chooses Brett Kavanaugh to be Justice Anthony M. Kennedy’s successor as Supreme Court Justice. Trump supports Kavanaugh for the position and believes he has one of the “sharpest legal minds of our time”. Kavanaugh, if appointed, would have a major impact on the Supreme Court rulings in our future.

On Monday, Brett Kavanaugh accepted the nomination and thanked Justice Kennedy and his parents. He is considered the “safest” choice compared to other nominees on Trump’s list of successors. Brett Kavanaugh is a conservative who has a lot of political experience and many credentials which is one of the reasons he was chosen by the President. He is a Yale Law School graduate, and served in the independent counsel of Kenneth Starr as his assistant and as associate council and staff secretary of Bush’s administration. He worked in the D.C. circuit of U.S. Court of Appeals as well as a clerk alongside Anthony M. Kennedy. Kavanaugh faces opposition from the Democratic Party who thinks his conservative mindset is too strong for Court. He has the potential to change many important topics over to the conservative sides. Some of these issues being gay marriage and the right to have an abortion or even voting laws.

This article was published by CNBC and written by Tucker Higgins. He did not seem to have a specific target audience and really speaks to everyone from any party. Higgins seems to tell the facts straight without a trace of his own feelings on the matter. When one’s personal opinions are out of the mix, the reader is able to gain an understanding of the event in its entirety from both sides. This is an important article or subject to know, so you are aware of the upcoming change in our Supreme Court and can prepare for the alterations that could be made.
