Yesterday, President Trump announced that Judge Brett Kavanaugh will be the nominee to fill the seat on the Supreme Court vacated by the retiring Justice Anthony Kennedy. Right after the news about the nomination broke, McGeorge School of Law Professor Clark Kelso spoke with KCRA about the nomination and what to expect from the nominee to be the Supreme Court’s newest Justice.
At 53 years old, Judge Kavanaugh falls in the age range that Capital Center Director Professor Leslie Gielow Jacobs predicted the nominee would fall in, telling Insight’s Beth Ruyak, “I would predict the next Justice would be late forties, early fifties.”
