Conservatives were hoping to get a new justice onto the Supreme Court before a major case involving illegal immigrants’ rights to abortion reaches the justices, but they may end up being disappointed by Judge Brett M. Kavanaugh, President Trump’s nominee to fill the looming vacancy.

Since he participated in the case while on the Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, Judge Kavanaugh would have to recuse himself when the case reached the justices, under standard court practice.

The choice ultimately would be up to him, but analysts said they’d be shocked if he didn’t sit out the case, which involves pregnant illegal immigrant teens in government custody who say they have a right to get an abortion in the U.S. and the government must assist them.

Well that would be something since the "Wise Latina" and Elena Kagan refused to that in similar circumstances!

All the more reason for him to overcome his scruples.
