Internet Thinks Trump SCOTUS Pick Will Be Brett Kavanaugh – Because of a Black Limo

Social media users appear to have decided that President Trump has chosen United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit judge Brett Kavanaugh to become his nominee to the U.S. Supreme Court.
Why?
A limo.
Chief White House Correspondent for The New York Times and MSNBC analyst Peter Baker an hour ago posted this tweet that’s going viral:
Buzz at the US courthouse in DC: Brett Kavanaugh spotted leaving in a black sedan accompanied by four black SUVs with security agents presumed to be Secret Service, per source.

Another reason Trump is likely to pick Kavanaugh: he has written that a sitting president should not be indicted.
Trump SCOTUS team has looked at Kavanaugh’s past comments on indicting a sitting president, we’ve confirmed. In 2009, Kavanaugh wrote: “The indictment and trial of a sitting President, moreover, would cripple the federal government…” https://t.co/rDHJs5RiUY

MSNBC discusses Kavanaugh:

Ultimately, they’re all guesses until the announcement is made. So stay tuned – President Trump will announce his pick at 9 PM tonight.
And by the way, here’s why it will be at 9 PM.
