Trump did not surprise and appointed conservative judge to the United States Supreme Court

US President Donald Trump on Monday appointed Justice Brett Kavanaugh to the United States Supreme Court. The choice, which has yet to be confirmed by the Senate, should strengthen the Conservative court's control over the next few years.

Some Democrats have already promised to try to block Kavanaugh's confirmation. However, Republicans control the Senate by a narrow margin and can guarantee themselves the appointment of the President's name if they avoid possible defections in their ranks, recalls the Reuters news agency.

If confirmed, Kavanaugh replaces Justice Anthony Kennedy, who announced June 27 retirement at the age of 81, becomes Trump's second appointment to the highest US court in his tenure from one year and a half.

Judge was present in the great controversies of the Kavanaugh has been involved in some of the biggest controversies over the past two decades: he helped to investigate the former Democratic President Bill Clinton in the 1990s, has joined the Republican George W. Bush team in Florida in the 2000 elections and would later join Bush's team at the White House.

The United States Supreme Court is composed of nine judges, appointed for life. Despite being a conservative judge appointed by Ronald Reagan, Anthony Kennedy often joined liberal judges on issues such as abortion or gay rights (in some cases, his vote was a vote of 5 or 4). Kavanaugh should not reproduce this form of action.
