Our 114th Supreme Court Justice
On July 9, 2018, President Donald J. Trump nominated Judge Brett M. Kavanaugh to fill retiring Justice Anthony Kennedy’s seat on the United States Supreme Court. “There is no one in America more qualified for this position, and no one more deserving,” President Trump said during his announcement.
“The Rule of Law is our nation’s proud heritage. It is the cornerstone of our freedom. It is what guarantees equal justice,” the President added.
On Saturday, by a vote of 50-48, the U.S. Senate upheld that principle and confirmed Judge Kavanaugh’s appointment to the High Court. Tonight, President Trump will address the nation at a swearing-in ceremony from the East Room of the White House.
Throughout his exemplary career, Judge Kavanaugh has let the Constitution guide his decisions. Tonight, with the disgraceful partisan politics of the past three months behind us, America is getting a Justice who understands that the role of a judge is to faithfully interpret the law as written—not to legislate from the bench.
Watch live at 7 p.m. ET: Brett Kavanaugh is sworn in as Associate Justice.
Video of the day: ‘The men and women in blue’
Today, President Trump traveled to Orlando, Florida, to address the Annual Convention for the International Association of Chiefs of Police.
“My Administration will always honor, cherish, and support the men and women in blue. And we are proud to do it,” the President said.
The meaning of Columbus Day
On Columbus Day, we remember an achievement that changed the course of history. In 1492, Christopher Columbus crossed the Atlantic and discovered the Americas, ushering in a new Age of Discovery.
“His expedition formed the initial bond between Europe and the Americas,” President Trump writes in his Columbus Day 2018 Proclamation. “Today, in that spirit, we continue to seek new horizons for greater opportunity and further discovery on land, in sea, and in space.”
The next frontier: The Trump Administration reclaims America’s proud destiny in space.
