Hillary Clinton said on CNN on Tuesday that President Trump's swearing-in of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh was a "political rally" that "further undermined the image and integrity of the court."

Why it matters: This is the first time the state has activated the full National Guard since World War II.
