Good Monday morning and Happy Columbus Day!
Here is what’s on the president’s agenda today:
- The president delivers remarks at the International Association of Chiefs of Police Annual Convention in Orlando, Florida
- President Trump participates in the swearing-in ceremony of the Honorable Brett M. Kavanaugh as Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States
I have a holiday version of the Briefing for you this morning.
Kava-YUP round-up
Immediately after the contentious Kavanaugh vote in the Senate on Saturday, Kavanaugh and family snuck into the SCOTUS building to get sworn in. A more formal swearing-in with the president in will take place this evening. The #resistance was not pleased about Kavanaugh’s confirmation and swearing-in — watch this video from Benny Johnson:
Hysterical Left-Wing protesters storming the 13 ton solid bronze doors of the Supreme Court and attempting to claw them open with their bare hands would be the funniest thing I've ever seen – if it was not simultaneously the scariest.
