The Senate approved Brett Cavanaugh as a judge of the US Supreme Court. VIDEO

On Saturday afternoon, the US Senate approved the nomination of Brett Cavanaugh for the position of judge of the Supreme Court. 50 senators voted for the appointment of Kavano, 48 voted against. The final vote was interrupted several times by shouts from protesters, who almost disrupted the procedure for approving a presidential candidate for the state post.

The decision of the Senate enshrined a conservative majority in court and completed a months-long lawsuit on charges of sexual harassment, violence, and Kavano’s bias as a judge, writes CNN. While the senators sat quietly on the ground during the voting, opponents of Cavanaugh’s statement spoke out loud. Protests continued after the completion of voting.

The decision speaks of a major victory for Donald Trump, who will soon be proud of the appointment of two conservative judges to the Supreme Court during his relatively short tenure.

Democrats opposed the nomination of Cavano in the Senate on Friday evening and Saturday morning. The Republican Party cast votes for Cavano. Large groups of protesters gathered today near the Capitol building and across the street near the Supreme Court before the final vote. People on the steps of the Capitol chanted "vote against!" And "the whole world follows."

In confirmation of the tense situation in the Capitol, the representative of the Republican majority, John Cornyn from Texas, was twice interrupted by shouts of protesters from the Senate Gallery, open to visitors. Earlier in the day, Kornin told a group of reporters that this was “not a good hour for the Senate,” and said that “we need a better way forward.”

The chairman of the panel of judges of the Senate, Chuck Grassley, said a few words of approval to the protesters before the vote: “Thank God that you are ready to exercise your rights to the First Amendment on freedom of association and freedom of speech. Go on, because it will make America stronger. ”

Shortly before the vote, Trump said Kavanaugh "will be a great Supreme Court justice."

"He's just an extraordinary man... and I think we'll all be very proud of him," Trump added.

Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer called Cavano’s nomination "one of the saddest moments in Senate history" and said: "This chapter will become a bright red warning beacon about what to avoid."

Republicans "ran one of the least transparent, least fair, most partisan processes in the history of the Senate, tilting everything to get the outcome they wanted from the very beginning," he added.

Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, who helped nominate Kavanaugh, praised him: “The President has appointed a jurist who his colleagues across the political spectrum have called a superstar,” McConnell said, later adding that “Judge Brett Kavanaugh is one of the best that has to offer.” our country".

Allegations Ford and guerrilla battles

Friday morning began with uncertainty about whether Senate Republicans would receive the necessary support to nominate for the finish line, but the day ended with Cavano’s assertion certified after Republican senators Jeff Flick and Susan Collins, as well as Democrat Joe Manchin, announced that will support Cavano. The overbalance was small: 50 versus 48, so every vote mattered.

Summarizing her argument, Collins said that while she believes that Christina Blasey Ford, who last month accused Kavanaugh of attempted rape in the early 1980s, is indeed a “victim of sexual assault,” Collins does not consider this claim a compelling argument for rejecting the nomination. Kavanaugh.

The only Republican who opposed the nomination was Senator Liza Merkauski from Alaska, who told reporters that, although she considered Kavano a “good person,” she also felt that the confirmation process was something “more than a candidate.”

In a speech Friday on Friday, Mercausky expressed sympathy for both Ford and Cavanaugh. However, she said that it is important to choose judges who will act at any time in such a way as to promote “public confidence” in the judicial system.

“In good conscience ... I cannot conclude that he is the right person to stand trial at this time,” the senator added.

Merkauski opposes

Despite her opposition to Kavanaugh's nomination, Merkauski ultimately withdrew from the final decision as a gesture of goodwill towards her Republican colleague, Senator Steve Daines of Montana, who supported Kavanaugh but planned to stay in Montana for his daughter's wedding on Election Day . This move did not affect the overall voting result, but allowed the margin of vote to be the same as if Dines had participated. In addition, Merkouski “covered” Dines, and he will not have to urgently return to vote to ensure the desired result.

“I hope this reminds us that we can take small steps to be nice to each other, and maybe they will lead to bigger things,” Mierkouski said Friday in announcing her commitment.

Recall that three months ago US President Donald Trump Announcedthat nominates conservative judge Brett Cavanaugh for the vacant post of judge of the Supreme Court. The position became vacant after 81-year-old judge Anthony Kennedy announced his desire to end his career.

Christina Blazey Ford, Professor, University of Palo Alto, California, in mid-September accused havano of harassment. Against Cavanaugh, 53-year-old Deborah Ramirez, who studied with him, also filed charges. Kavano denied all charges.
