Brett Kavanaugh confirmed to Supreme Court by Senate
Senate votes to confirm Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.
Members of the Senate gathered Saturday to provide their final vote on Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh following weeks of turmoil over sexual misconduct allegations against the federal appeals judge. Kavanaugh was confirmed on a 50-48 vote. He is expected to be sworn-in on Tuesday.
