“Mr. President, thank you for the great honor of appointing me to serve as a Justice in the Supreme Court. I’ve seen firsthand your deep appreciation for the vital role of the American judiciary. I am grateful for your steadfast, unwavering support throughout this process,” Kavanaugh said.

“I am honored to serve on the Supreme Court headed by Chief Justice John Roberts. Chief Justice Roberts is a principled, independent and inspiring leader for the American judiciary,” he continued. “As a country, we are fortunate to have John Roberts as Chief Justice of the United States. I’m honored to serve alongside all of my new colleagues, each of whom I know. And each of whom I greatly admire and deeply respect.”

Kavanaugh added, “The justices do not sit on opposite sides of an aisle. We do not caucus in separate rooms. The Supreme Court is a team of nine and I will always be a team player on the team of nine.”

Earlier in the ceremony, the president congratulated Kavanaugh and thanked the Senate Judiciary Republicans for sticking with Kavanaugh as well. (RELATED: President Trump Thanks Senate Republicans For Fighting For Justice Brett Kavanaugh)
