Among those standing by Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh is former president George W. Bush, who said that he’s known Kavanaugh for many years.

Bush initially praised Kavanaugh’s nomination in July, saying: “Brett is a brilliant jurist who has faithfully applied the Constitution and laws throughout his 12 years on the D.C. Circuit.”
