John Malcolm, vice president of the Institute for Constitutional Government, director of the Meese Center for Legal & Judicial Studies, and senior legal fellow with the Heritage Foundation in Washington, D.C., July 12, 2018.
When John Malcolm arrived at the White House on July 9 for the announcement of the president’s U.S. Supreme Court nominee, he was in the dark about the pick like most everyone else.
The Heritage Foundation, where Malcolm is a senior legal fellow and director of the Meese Center for Legal & Judicial Studies, helped populate the short lists to fill the earlier court vacancy left by Justice Antonin Scalia’s death. But Malcolm said it wasn’t until he saw who else was waiting in line outside the White House that he figured it was Judge Brett Kavanaugh.
