Two of President Trump's nominees, Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh, have successfully made it to the Supreme Court. One of Gorsuch's cases of note was Peruta v. San Diego County, where he supported upholding California gun control laws. Kavanaugh, who was subject to a number of sexual assault allegations before he was sworn in, has handled cases mainly involving abortion, in which he helped stop the defunding of Planned Parenthood in Louisiana and Kansas. More recently, however, he and Gorsuch dissented in a ruling against Louisiana's abortion law. Kavanaugh argued the court ruled prematurely.
