FreedomWorks Applauds President Trump’s Selection of Judge Brett Kavanaugh for Supreme Court Nominee

WASHINGTON, DC – FreedomWorks applauds President Trump’s decision to select Judge Brett Kavanaugh as his Supreme Court nominee. Judge Kavanaugh has served with distinction on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.

Adam Brandon, FreedomWorks President, commented:

“Judge Kavanaugh is a fantastic choice to succeed former Justice Kennedy on the Supreme Court. Kavanaugh has proven to be a staunch conservative who has relied on originalism and textualism while serving on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. We are confident he would strengthen the conservative wing of the Court and preserve the Constitution, as the framers intended.

“Judge Kavanaugh’s criticism of the Chevron deference demonstrates his skepticism towards letting unaccountable government agencies run the show when it comes to regulations. Justice Kavanaugh’s dissent in USTA v. FCC paved the way for the repeal of the needless Title II regulation of the internet. FreedomWorks calls upon Majority Leader McConnell to act swiftly and ensure Kavanaugh is confirmed on the Senate floor. We look forward to supporting Kavanaugh throughout the confirmation process.”
