(COLUMBUS, Ohio)—Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine issued the following statement on the nomination by President Donald J. Trump of Judge Brett Kavanaugh of the D.C. Court of Appeals for a seat on the U.S. Supreme Court.
"President Trump has nominated an outstanding candidate in Judge Brett Kavanaugh for a seat on the U.S. Supreme Court to replace Justice Anthony M. Kennedy. We need justices like Judge Kavanaugh who will interpret the law through the meaning of the written U.S. Constitution and not legislate from the bench.
"I applaud President Trump for his nomination of Judge Kavanaugh and I urge the Senate to act quickly to confirm him before the fall term."
