President Trump announced his selection of Judge Brett Kavanaugh to be his second Supreme Court justice Monday night. Speaking from White House, the President said that what mattered to him was “not a judge’s political views, but whether they can set aside those views to do what the law and the Constitution require.”

“I am pleased to say that I have found, without a doubt, such a person,” he said in announcing Kavanaugh’s nomination. “There is no one in America more qualified for this position and no one more deserving,” the President also said.

WIBC host Tony Katz spoke with Vice President Mike Pence Tuesday, who called Judge Brett Kavanaugh the “most deserving, most qualified choice.”

Pence:

“The President has nominated once again a principled judge who is not going to go to the court and engage in judicial activism. What Judge Kavanaugh will do is to faithfully interpret the Constitution as it is written.

I think the American people are going to be very proud as they get to know Judge Kavanaugh.”
