Should the U.S. Senate approve Judge Brett Kavanaugh to sit on the United States Supreme Court?
President Donald Trump nominated Judge Brett Kavanaugh of the U.S. Court of Appeals. The nomination now goes to the Senate for confirmation, where majority leader Mitch McConnell has said he would like a vote to confirm Kavanaugh by the fall.
The 49-seat Democratic caucus will be unable to block Kavanaugh’s nomination on its own. Now that the filibuster has been eliminated for Supreme Court nominations, only a simple majority of senators is needed to confirm a Supreme Court nominee, according to the Supreme Court of the United States blog.
