Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

This Monday night, President Donald Trump nominated Brett Kavanaugh to join the Supreme Court in the place of Justice Anthony Kennedy.

In his speech, Trump, 72, bragged about the former lawyer's "impeccable credentials," and gushed about his strong leadership skills.

He is a Yale and Georgetown graduate and has published a book on judicial precedent. He is also a proud Catholic.

"Tonight, it was my honor and privilege to nominate Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the United States Supreme Court," tweeted Trump after his announcement.
