Would Kavanaugh Be a Weakened Justice?

October 1, 2018 at 6:32 am EDT By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment

Playbook: “If Brett Kavanaugh is confirmed to the Supreme Court, won’t he have to recuse himself from a whole broad swath of cases, based on what he said at the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing? Kavanaugh believes he was the subject of a campaign by the Clintons to discredit him, and he criticized the media and the Senate. Won’t he have to bow out of any case that has to do with partisan politics, or the press?“
