Judge Brett Kavanaugh was confirmed to the Supreme Court by the Senate on Saturday. We want to hear your reaction.

On Saturday, after weeks of division and fury on Capitol Hill and across the country, President Trump's Supreme Court nominee Judge Brett Kavanaugh was narrowly confirmed by the Senate. Beyond the politics, Americans have been debating multiple sexual assault allegations against the nominee and the apparent breakdown of norms on both sides of the process. Now, we want to hear what you think.

We're joined by Lisa Holmes, associate professor of political science at UVM. She studies judicial politics, constitutional law and gender and law. Her research focuses on the politics of judicial appointments.

Broadcast on Monday, Oct. 8, 2018 at noon; rebroadcast at 7 p.m.
