Brett Kavanaugh Confirmed to Supreme Court, Giving Conservatives 5-4 Majority

Judge Brett Kavanaugh was confirmed to the Supreme Court on Oct. 6, giving conservatives a 5-4 majority in the highest court in the United States.

The Senate voted 50-48 to place Kavanaugh on the court.

“Judge Brett Kavanaugh is among the very best our nation has to offer. He will make the Senate and the country proud,” Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said on the Senate floor right before the vote.

“This is an institution where the evidence and the facts matter,” he added, hitting back against the sexual assault allegations against Kavanaugh that the FBI concluded were uncorroborated. “A vote to confirm judge Kavanaugh today is to end this brief, dark chapter in the Senate’s history and turn the page to a brighter tomorrow.”

Kavanaugh, 53, was selected by President Donald Trump to replace Anthony Kennedy, a Ronald Reagan-nominee who announced his retirement on June 27.
