The New Supreme Court

On July 9 , 2018 President Trump nominated D.C. Circuit Judge Brett Kavanaugh to replace retiring Justice Anthony Kennedy, often called the “swing justice”. Kavanaugh is President Trump’s second appointee to the Court after Justice Neil Gorsuch was confirmed in 2017. Should Judge Kavanaugh be confirmed, this may mark a momentous change to the Court’s ideological balance and jurisprudence. This episode explores what the appointments of Kavanaugh and Gorsuch might mean for the future of the Supreme Court and constitutional law.
