Bush. The White House's decision took place days before the confirmation hearings for Kavanaugh, President Donald Trump’s pick for the Supreme Court, were about to begin. A longtime professor of politics at the College, Woolpert’s academic research includes the U.S. Constitution, civil rights, and the U.S. Supreme Court.
