U.S. President Donald Trump has announced Brett Kavanaugh as his nominee for the U.S. Supreme Court.<br /> Trump's decision to nominate the federal appeals court judge..... for the position at the U.S. Supreme Court.... appears to be aimed at securing long-term conservative control of the court.<br />At the age of 53,.... Judge Kavanaugh could potentially serve on the Supreme Court for decades to come.<br />If confirmed by the Senate,.... where the Republicans hold a slim majority,.... Kavanaugh would replace Justice Anthony Kennedy... who had held the swing vote in many close cases on issues such as.... abortion, gay rights and death penalty. <br />
