Kavanaugh. We expect to see the president and as well, judge, and Circuit Court of appeals, often called the farm team for the Supreme Court. There are a lot of people that thought maybe this was too much of an establishment choice, maybe he should have gone with a b tony barrett but the intelligence that ive been getting it is that Amy Coney Barrett may have been a difficultou confirmation this year. If another justices shuts down, they would likely be the next choice. We are only ten seconds away, the president of the United States making his big announcement. Ap reporting and fact that it is a judge kavanaugh, which have been rumored most of last week. Again, i would confirm. There is the president now headed to p the podium and whats history in the making, this now his Second Supreme Court nomine nominee. Here is the president. My [applause] President Trump my fellow americans, tonight i speak to you from the east room of the white house regarding one of the most profound responsib
The issue of abortion, making sure that women in their states and across the country had access. So that was something that they thought carefully about. Its different, i guess, when theyre voting on an issue rather than putting somebody up on the court who may or may not hold those beliefs. Its also going to be interesting to see, jake, tonight how much the president speaks before actually getting to what everyone is gathered here to hear. Yeah, because he loves this moment. Gorsuch, you might remember, during that rocky first half of his first year gorsuch was one of the moments that went off pretty well, whatever you think of him as a judge or as a nominee. That announcement went well compared to so many other things in the First Six Months of his presidency. And, look, i mean this is a president who weve made it to 9 01, and we still do not know for sure who it is. And there is the president. Lets listen in. [ applause ] my fellow americans, tonight i speak to you from the east roo
Kavanaugh. We expect to see the president , as well as judge and, soon to be, if the president gets his way, Justice Brett kavanaugh walking up. He is a veteran of the d. C. Court of appeals. So many different justices of current and past from the d. C. Circuit court of appeals. There are a lot of people who thought that this was maybe too much of an establishment toys, that maybe he should have gone with tony amy barrett, but nexe around if another justice steps down while the president is still sitting in the oval office, Amy Coney Barrett would likely be his next choice. We are only ten seconds away, the president of the United States banking because big announcement. The ap reporting and fact that it is judge kavanaugh which have been removed most of last week. Again, i would confirm if there is the president now headed to the podium and what is history in the making. This now his Second Supreme Court nominee. Here is the president. [applause] speak to my fellow americans, tonight
Senate is already bowing to fight kavanaugh with everything he has. Coming up in just a minute i will talk with Vice President mike pence about the g. O. P. Strategy. First up, chief Congressional Correspondent mike emanuel here with going on right here in the capital. Good evening, welcome back to capitol hill. Battle lines are drawn. Some democrats appear automatically opposed to Brett Kavanaugh because President Trump picked him. Meanwhile, republican state judge kavanaugh is uniquely qualified for the Supreme Court. I think the president made an outstanding nomination. We look forward to the confirmation process in the next few weeks. The Senate Majority leader, the white house and the judiciary may determine what Brett Kavanaugh confirmed swiftly with the new Supreme Court term set to start in october. A thorough process, hopefully its efficient, we get it done quickly. But democrats are already warning that they will want to take the time to comb through his extensive paper trail
Theres a lot there. That made mcconnell nervous. He wanted one of the two short listers with much, much less successful records because he wants it done by september. The speck haitian that i was referring to, the kavanaugh edition to the list from which President Trump was reportedly choosing, that it may have been designed to encourage Justice Kennedy to retire. I think the predictability. The fact that george w. Bush would have picked him, ted cruz, mitt romney would have picked him, tells you this would have been done by the heritage society, theyve almost entirely control the process.

Were expecting the president to arrive essentially now to make this nomination. Again, nbc news reporting that the nominee will be judge Brett Kavanaugh. My fellow americans, tonight i speak to you from the east room of the white house regarding one of the most profound responsi
