In the face of his flagging candidacy, Moore heaved a Hail Mary pass on Tuesday in an interview with a conservative talk radio show in North Dakota : He invoked the name of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh. They're pulling a Kavanaugh against me," Moore said. Kavanaugh's nomination to the Supreme Court last year became a massive moment in the long-running struggle between liberals and conservatives in the country. Nominated by Trump to fill the seat of retiring Justice Anthony Kennedy, Kavanaugh was regarded as the vote that would swing the Supreme Court to the right for years to come if he was confirmed. Kavanaugh vehemently denied the allegations and, along with President Donald Trump, suggested Ford was being put up to all of it by Democrats.
