Brett Kavanaugh as New Justice in the Supreme Court

Senate Confirms Brett Kavanaugh to Supreme Court, 50-48

First Day 

Seated on the far right end of the bench, Kavanaugh listened alongside his eight colleagues to Stokeling v. United States, a case about whether a state robbery offense should be classified as a “violent felony” under the 1984 Armed Career Criminal Act, which is a criminal sentencing law that increases prison sentences after multiple violent felonies.

Questions from Kavanaugh and Justice Neil Gorsuch suggested they could vote against the Trump administration and side with a criminal defendant from Florida who is fighting an increase in his sentence from just over six years to possibly more than 15 years.
