Trump Picks Man Who Helped Him Get Away With Crimes to Run the Courts

In a move that has many questioning his motives, former President Trump has appointed Brett Kavanaugh as the head of the federal judiciary. Kavanaugh, a controversial figure himself, has been accused of aiding Trump in escaping accountability for numerous alleged crimes.

Critics argue that Kavanaugh’s elevation to the top judicial post poses a threat to the integrity of the courts and the rule of law. They fear that he will use his position to protect Trump from further prosecution and undermine the independence of the judiciary.

Supporters of the appointment, however, contend that Kavanaugh’s legal acumen and conservative credentials make him a qualified choice. They argue that he has a proven track record of upholding the Constitution and will bring stability to the courts.

Time will tell whether Kavanaugh’s appointment will have the intended effects or if it will further erode public trust in the judiciary.
