Brett Kavanaugh Confirmed To Supreme Court After Historic Vote
The United States Senate confirmed Brett Kavanaugh as an associate justice on the Supreme Court by a 50-48 majority.
The United State Senate voted to confirm Brett Kavanaugh to the position of associate justice to the Supreme Court on Saturday. Vice President Mike Pence presided over the vote that got underway around 3:45 p.m. and was repeatedly interrupted by protesters opposed to Kavanaugh screaming from the Senate gallery.
Saturday's vote ended a months-long confirmation process that culminated in a painful national debate about sexual assault spurred and supported by the #MeToo movement.
Despite accusations of sexual misconduct against Kavanaugh and a subsequent FBI background investigation, the GOP-controlled Senate had the votes to confirm the judge, filling the seat left behind by Anthony Kennedy.
About 100 anti-Kavanaugh protesters climbed the Capitol's East Steps on Saturday as the vote approached, pumping fists and waving signs, and U.S. Capitol Police officers began arresting some of them.
