deliver the news, introducing him to americans as, quote, one of the sharpest legal minds of our time. with a signature made for tv we veal, president trump in pri time announcing his pick for the high court. >> i wil nominate judge brett kavanaugh to the united states supreme court. >> cavanaugh, a solid conservative, has spent the last 12 years as aederal appeals court judge in washington. the president praising him as a brilliant jurist. >> judge cavanaugh has impeccableed tials, unsurpassed qualifications, and a proven commitment to equal justice under the law. >> cavanaugh describing his judicial philosophy as straight toward. >> judge must be independent and must interpret the law noth make law. a judge must interprettatutes as written. a judge must interpret the constitution as written, informed by history and tradition and precedent.

>> cavanaugh is at home in washington, a clerk for retiring justice antho y kennedy 25rs ago with ties to two past presidents. once investigating bill clinton for the monica lewinsky scandal, to presidetop aide bush george bush who on monday night said cavanaugh would make a superb justice. the married father introducing his wife and daughter to the country.>> argaret loves sports, and she loves to read. liza loves sports, and s loves to talk. >> first the cavanaugh pick, now the pitch, getting 51 votes in the senate to bac his no nation. >> if confirmed by the senate, i will keep an open mind in every . >> inside the east room a cheering section, but outside c the supourt fierce protests. >> are you ready for a fight?

>> many senate democrats calling vanaugh's nomination a nonstarter, highlighting his past articles in law journath, congress should pass a law so presidents are immune from lawsuits and criminal investigations. >> donald trump is nothing if not a man who protes first and foremost donald trump. >> republicans are applauding the pick. crucial swing votes lisa murkowski and susan collins both supported cavanaugh's last nomination, an indication perhaps they would support him again for a seat on the high court. that confirmation battle now under y. white house officials just this morning expressing confidence that the senate can confirm cavanaug by the start of the next supreme court session. that's october 1st. the president, for his part, leaving this morning for a week long foreign trip punctuated by two summits, one with nato allies, the other with vladimir putin, squeezing a the queen in between. hoda. >> all right, peter, thank you. >> souhat else do eed to know on the nominee, where he

stands on some of the page s issuping the country, nbc justice corresllndent pete m was the first to break the news who he would pick. he's at the supreme court at the wpost andve got nbc kasie hunt for the political fight ahead. >> pete, let's build up a build up to the announcement last night. was it a surprise to insiders that he picked cavanaul cavanau brett kavanaugh? >> he knows his way around washington, d.c., grew up in maryland where his mother was a school teacher and state court judge. he's an ivyue le went to yale and yale law school, a clerk for justice anthony kennedy at the same time, the same year as neil dpgorsuch, th man trump nominated last year. he became key staff member when starr was investigating whitewater and monica lewinsky scandals and helped write the report that cited 11 possible

grounds for impeaching president clinton. then he became a white house counsel and top aide to george w. bus that's where he met his wife ashley worng working in the white house. the president put him there 12 years ago. back to the article he was talkinabout. he said his white house experience convinced him presidents should be immune from lawsuits and criminal investigations while in office he diday to do that congress would have to change the law in order to make that happ b. >>ieve that was written a while back, back in 2009, pete. what about key precedents, roe versus wade, g marriage, so many social issues the supreme court has touchedow on and we're talking about a social change in the ideological balance of thcourt. >> no question about that. he hasn't written a lot of buttons on the hot social issues. the supreme court hote tends to hear those cases.

he would provide a fifth for a solid majority. that means they would be more available for making state laws making boringses hard to get. the court would probably be more likely give business leeway to serve day customers on the grounds of religious freedom but not likely to reverse itself on the ban on same-sex marriage. affirmative action is already on life support. just as kennedy was fey keeping it as a tool for for diversity in classrooms. without him it's probably doomed. >> let's go to kasie hunt and talk about the confirmation. is this a layup? they only need 51 votes. is this a layup? >> in some ways it is. this an establishment pick.

as peter alexander pointed out, theepwolican key votes, susan collins and lisa murkowski both backed him for the federal bench. this is somebody we haven't seen initial opposition from him. susan collins doesn mention roe versus wade, which is one of her critical items. if mitch mcconnell, the republican leader, can keep them on board he can get the 50 votes he need. one person to kee an eye on is rand paul. there may be concern about theor judge's for the bush administration, t iraq war torture, those kind of things. for democrats, red state democrats areghtill in a t position. they are signaling they are going to try to fight this by focusing on health care arguing this judge, if he becomes a justice, might jeopardize iopeople's prote for pre-existing conditions under the affordable care act. >> casey williams on the hill,

peter, thank you. another story, the rescue operation from thailand. just before midnight n the east coast, it involved 19 divers. >> as for the boys rescued sunday and monday, they remain in the hospital. it's said they are in high spirits. theyere given a treat at their request, bread with chocolate spread.e bill neely at cene of the rescue mission. bill, good morning. >> yeah, good morning. guys, i hdly dare s it, but today's missi does appear to be going well. we saw one boy go past us in an plans a short time ago, then anothe we understand all the remaining boys and coach are now on dry but cers say it will not maound. be mission accomplished until the three divers and the doctor, who have been with the boys for the last few days are alsoout. everyone here holding their breath. like inal push does look

it's in its final stage. faster than ever, the first boy freed today in just six hours, record time. more planses, divers and air tanks in this final push, more urgency than ever. tw saight days of success, so many boys out have raised hopes and ris say divers of exhaustion or complacency. four of these boys, we don't know which, spent a 17th night in the cave with their coach and with three divers and a doctor. for a successful rescue, all o them have to get out. we think we'll do it today, says the commande 100% success. but they are escaping an underground nre two miles long. the boys wearing face masks for o hours, clinging to a guide rope, and almost under an elite diver, another behind. one passageway so tight, tve

have to take off air tanks to squeeze through. doctors say the dive g e the poise mild hypothermia, two had pneumonia from the thve. first eight freed are now fine. rescuers are still clearing rocks, perfectinghe t route, drilling passages and working up to their next in water to make this rescue possible. six of the trapped boys went to this school, at least three now are free. their friends can't wai to play soccer with them again. >> you're happy. >> happy. >> the freed boys are being promised less homework. teachers and pupils have been told not to ask them questtns abou their ordeal when they return. heavy rain this morning hasn't raised water levels but hopes are high. the thai navy s.e.l.s posting this message. dal be longer than the other teys. we will celebra together finally.

it seemed impossible a week ago. here they are now daring to believe that all 12 boys come out alive. >> just on the verge of celebration here. how tough was this kin of final phase of the rescue, bill? >> reporter: oh, gosh, hoda, it may have been very tough for those boys watch their friends leave. last night in that cave, it must have felt very lonely and very empty. the commander at the beginning said the healthieat would first. the uld be these boys are most vulnerable. on the other hand, rescuers have this down to a fine art. the firstoy came out this morning in half the time of the very first boy who was rescued exactly a week since they were discovered this t day they have all been waiting for. they went into the cave together. it does now look, whisper it quietly, like they will all be back together soon. >> hewow. >> divers are so incredible. i guess practice makes perfect. as bill says, not until we know

for sure. >> thank you, bill. >> we'll keep an eye on it. as the rescues play out, the eyes on the recovery. jan janis, good morning. >> reporter: they have been taken from an isolatedave t isolation unit where the doctors say they are at risk but they are at least safe. they have scratches, fever, and signs of hypothermihypothermia. overall the boys rescued fm the cave so far are in remarkably good health. doctors say they will be quarantined here for up to a week because of high risk of i infection. for now they will see them through windows but cannot touch them. these poise are healthy and strong, says the doctor. they are up and doinghings themselves. it was against odds they were

found. >> how myre there? thirteen? >> surviving days in title isolation and darkness, now wearing sunglasses around the hospital to ptect their eyes from light. just how dark? we ventured into a cave about five miles from where the rescue was happening. we're only 30 feet from the entrance. it's humid, dank. we're doing this with lights, you take those away, imagine sitting inor this. worse, your child. psychologists are talking with the boys and say they are in good mental health. for the most part they are just really hungry. all of them have lost weight, about five pounds each. they have been given bland foodr but ask an upgrade to chocolate. once the tests show they are clear from infection picked up from soil or water, then they will be given tgh green from families and we'll finally see that hug. savann, hoda, back to you. >> it's amazing they haven't

gotten that hug. let's give them their chock, too, when they are ready. thank you so much. meantime, theay is t court ordered deadline to reunite the youngest mrant children separated from their parents at the u.s.-mexico border, a deadline the trump fullystration will not meet. gabe gutierrez in el paso, texas. good morning. >> reporter:g. good morn asked for an updated time line laying out which kids will be reunited today andhich will require more time. we have been speaking with migrant parents at the border who say every day they are aparr from thildren feels like a month. amid mounting pressure and protests over migrant families separated at the border, this morning the federal government is admitting it won't meet a court kpofd deadline to reunite the youngest children with their

paren parents. this woman from el salvadort old abe gut wrenching moment she said good-bye to her son and daughter more than a month ago. >> when do you think you'll be reunder? i don't know, she says. the govnment ordered them to reunite children younger than five with their family todaus thece department said only two children had been reunited so far and 54 of the 102 kids are expected to be reunited today. among t government's reasons for not reuniting families, the parents have criminal records or couldn't beed veri the aclu said there's another reason it's taking so long. >> the government didn't track these families. they separated thesechildren, took them away for months, but didn't have clear records about which children belonged to which parents. >> the department of health and human serces saidt now has 3,000rpeparated chi in its custody. the judge had ordered children five and oldere reunited by

july 26th. while ae few h had emotional reunions in public, this morning thousands of children remain in limbo. in a separate ruling the judge denied the request to detain grant families long-term calling it a, quote, cynical attempt to shift immigrati policymaking to the courts. the justice department said it disagrees with that ruling and is reviewing it hoda and savannah. >> gabe gutierrez in texas.
