Kavanaugh Nominated, Missing out on Amy Barrett, SCOTUS Conspiracy and Protests

Published: July 10, 2018, 5:35 p.m.

Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America celebrate President Trump's pick, Judge Brett Kavanaugh, to replace Justice Anthony Kennedy on the Supreme Court. They also reflect on what could have been had Trump nominated Catholic, conservative, mother-of-seven Judge Amy Coney Barrett. And they dismiss the single-source claim of NBC Reporter Leigh Ann Caldwell that Kennedy negotiated his replacement to be Kavanaugh before he stepped down. They also highlight the volatile protesters, who appeared with signs to reject any candidate that Trump selected and who forced Fox News Host Shannon Bream to cancel her show outside the Supreme Court.
