WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump chose Brett Kavanaugh, a solidly conservative, politically connected judge, for the Supreme Court. Most members of the Kansas congressional delegation expressed support for the choice.
Congrats to Judge Kavanaugh on his nomination to the #SCOTUS. I take my responsibility of ‘advice and consent’ very seriously & look forward to the @senjudiciary‘s thorough vetting of his record. I look forward to mtg Judge Kavanaugh & hope for a fair confirmation process.
