The U.S. Supreme Court — the highest ranking judicial body — just added a new member: Brett Kavanaugh.
Kavanaugh was officially confirmed by the Senate on Oct. 6 in a 50-48 vote. He was sworn-in by Chief Justice John Roberts hours later in a private ceremony.
The newest judge on the Supreme Court is filling the vacant seat of retired Justice Anthony Kennedy, 82. Kennedy, who announced his retirement in July after 30 years of service, held the key vote on high-profile issues, such as abortion, affirmative action, gay rights, guns, campaign finance and voting rights.
Here's a look at the sitting Supreme Court justices.

Prior to joining the Supreme Court, Roberts served on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, as an associate counsel to former President Ronald Reagan and in the White House Counsel’s Office in the 1980s.

Kavanaugh, 53, is a graduate of Yale Law School and a former clerk to Justice Anthony Kennedy, whose retirement from the nation’s highest court left the open seat on the bench Kavanaugh will fill. With approximately 300 opinions issued in 12 years as a judge and a raft of legal articles and speaking engagements, Kavanaugh was the most prolific of the nominees Trump was said to be considering for the role.
