Brett Kavanaugh Daughter Margaret Kavanaugh Wiki, Real Age, Net Worth, Height

Brett Michael Kavanaugh (born February 12, 1965) is an American lawyer and judge who currently serves on the Supreme Court of the United States as an associate justice. President Donald Trump nominated him on July 9, 2018, and he has served since October 6, 2018.

He formerly served on the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit and as a staff lawyer for numerous federal agencies.

Kavanaugh attended Yale University, where he majored in history and was a member of the Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity.

He subsequently went to Yale Legal School, where he worked as a law clerk for Judge Ken Starr.

After Starr left the D.C. Circuit to lead the Office of Independent Counsel, Kavanaugh worked with him on a number of investigations into President Bill Clinton, including producing the Starr Report, which recommended Clinton’s impeachment.

He joined the Bush administration as White House staff secretary after working for George W. Bush’s campaign in the Florida recount during the 2000 presidential election. He was a key participant in the administration’s attempts to discover and confirm judicial nominations.

In 2003, Bush nominated Kavanaugh to the United States Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. His nomination proceedings were tense and stalled for three years due to partisanship allegations.

After a series of talks between Democratic and Republican senators, he was eventually confirmed to the D.C. Circuit in May 2006.

For The Washington Post, two law experts evaluated Kavanaugh’s appellate court opinions in four different public policy areas. Between 2003 and 2018, he was “one of the most conservative judges on the D.C. Circuit,” according to the report.

On July 9, 2018, President Trump nominated Kavanaugh to the United States Supreme Court to replace retiring Associate Justice Anthony Kennedy.

Christine Blasey Ford accused Kavanaugh of sexually assaulting her in the early 1980s while they were both in high school later in July.

Kavanaugh was also accused of sexual misconduct by two more women.

All of the allegations were leveled against Kavanaugh, who flatly denied them. Ford’s allegations were the subject of a second hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee. Following that, it voted 11–10 along party lines to send the confirmation to the entire Senate for consideration.

On October 6, the full Senate voted 50–48 to confirm Kavanaugh, with one Democrat voting yes and one Republican voting no.

Since Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s death in 2020, he has gained a reputation as a major swing vote on the Supreme Court.
