"A sitting president can not be indicted or sued". That's all you need to know about Brett Kavanaugh

While not a direct quote, that, in a nutshell, is why Trump picked him. Kav wrote an opinion on that quite some time ago.

It is all about Trump.

That he was chosen because he went to Yale. Seems like a right wing talking point to me.
