On this week’s episode of “Trib Talk,” reporter Benjamin Wood discusses the nomination of Brett Kavanuagh to the U.S. Supreme Court with Jason Perry, director of the University of Utah’s Hinckley Institute of Politics, and Michelle Quist, an attorney and Republican candidate for the Salt Lake County Council.
But because Kennedy was seen as the key swing vote on the nine-member court, his successor is expected to cement a conservative majority and embolden challenges to judicial precedents on issues like abortion rights and same-sex marriage.
Wood: Also with us is attorney Michelle Quist, a candidate for the Salt Lake County Council, Michelle thanks for being with us today.
