Former U.S. solicitors general and other lawyers from major firms spoke out in favor of U.S. Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh on Friday, giving him a unanimous boost on the final day of his confirmation hearing.

“We can aspire to a judiciary that will be prepared, perceptive, competent, open-minded, honest and respectful,” said former Solicitor General Theodore Olson, a partner at Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher. “That is the jurist that is Brett Kavanaugh. He is the kind of person and judge that we expect and deserve on the Supreme Court.”
