Nebraska Senator Ben Sasse calls Appellate Judge Brett Kavanaugh a strong choice for the US Supreme Court.

President Trump has nominated Kavanaugh, who now sits on the District of Columbia Court of Appeals.

Sasse, a member of the Judiciary Committee which will hold hearings on the nomination, says he has a lot of homework to do, reading through Kavanaugh’s opinions. . .

Sasse says liberal groups have been gearing up to oppose whoever the president nominated to replace Justice Anthony Kennedy, who is retiring. . .
