JCN’s Severino Praises Manchin’s Support for Kavanaugh
WASHINGTON – Judicial Crisis Network’s Chief Counsel Carrie Severino praised U.S. Sen. Joe Manchin’s (D-WV) announcement that he will vote to confirm Judge Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court:“We applaud Senator Manchin for announcing that he will vote to confirm Judge Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court. He did what all senators should do – review Judge Kavanaugh’s 12-year record as a Circuit Court judge, listen to testimony from all sides and make a well-reasoned and informed decision. Senator Manchin rejected the vicious smear campaign waged by left-wing activists and others in his party. We look forward to his vote.”
