Another New York Times article!~
Summary: President Trump has recently chosen Judge Brett Kavanaugh to replace Justice Antony M. Kennedy whom was a Republican. Judge Kavanaugh is a veteran in Republican politics. Important policies from abortions to the death penalty-- balances on such policies may fundamentally change, putting "dozens of precedents at risk" according to NYT.
Analysis: The process of a US President nominating someone he or she deems will bode well for the Supreme Court justice seat is both lengthy and skewed. Without supporting either of America's political parties, there is truth that many past and current conservative Supreme Court Judges have ruled to support corporations. For example, the Hobby Lobby case held a Conservative majority with Court Justice Scalia.
President Trump being a conservative himself nominated Judge Brett Kavanaugh, also a conservative. The implications of a judge's party affiliation have directly affected many Supreme Court decisions and of course, depending on the Judge's own interpretation of the Constitution, there are exceptions unrelated to political party values. However, without a doubt, the nomination of certain people to be the next court justice holds immense weight in future Supreme Court decisions because our laws and their interpretations and implications for future generations depend on political party and character of a justice which are evaluated by the president nominating the next man or woman. It is absolutely crucial for this process to be unbiased, taking into account experience and personal character which Brett Kavanaugh does have being a US Circuit Judge for DC and having a Yale diploma. However, he is a part of America's top 1% and with just that background, the decisions he makes may not benefit the other 99% of US's population -- the citizens, people directly affected by future landmark decisions.
In conclusion, the choice of Brett Kavanaugh as the next Supreme Court judge by President Trump will have many implications that will most likely uphold conservative values for future generations.
