Last night, President Trump scored another major victory in the name of conservatives within the United States when he\u00a0<\/span>announced the nomination\u00a0<\/a><\/span>of his second Supreme Court pick, Judge Brett Kavanaugh. This came after Justice Anthony Kennedy\u00a0<\/span>announced his retirement\u00a0<\/a><\/span>a few weeks ago.<\/span><\/p>\n
