2018 Supreme Court nomination hearings

The 2018 Supreme Court nomination hearings involved Brett Kavanaugh, President Trump’s pick to fill a Supreme Court vacancy. The hearings included questions from Senators about his legal views, judicial philosophy, and past behaviors. A significant focus was on allegations of sexual misconduct from his high school years, which Kavanaugh strongly denied. The hearings highlighted deep political divisions, with debates over his qualifications and character. Ultimately, the Senate confirmed Kavanaugh’s appointment by a narrow vote, shaping the highest court’s composition for years to come.
