John Kenneth Bush Nomination.

President Donald Trump nominated John Kenneth Bush to be a judge on the Sixth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. As chairman of the Louisville chapter of the Federalist Society, Bush is a strict constructionist. He has previously called for the repeal of ObamaCare, opposes public financing of campaign elections, opposes gay marriage, and is staunchly pro-life. On an online conservative blog, Bush equated abortion to slavery, describing them as the “two greatest tragedies in our country.”

The Senate confirmed Bush. This group supported this nomination because more judges are needed who will up-hold the U.S. Constitution, as Bush intends.
