Last night, President Trump nominated Brett Kavanaugh to replace Anthony Kennedy on the U.S. Supreme Court. The nominee currently serves on the D.C. Circuit of the U.S. Court of Appeals.
Kavanaugh was a clerk for Kennedy and previously worked in the George W. Bush White House.

The confirmation process is expected to consume a significant amount of time and energy in the Senate for the rest of the summer and a part of the fall.
