The Kavanaugh Court

Mike Allen: “If Brett Kavanaugh is confirmed later today, as looks all but certain, he’ll be numerically one-ninth of the Supreme Court. But he’ll draw a vastly disproportionate share of attention and speculation, controversy and criticism.”

“As the decisive vote tipping the justices to the conservative side, he effectively makes this the Kavanaugh Court.”

Said Jeffrey Toobin: “Abortion, affirmative action, campaign finance, gay rights — all those are going to go in a very different direction because Anthony Kennedy is gone and Brett Kavanaugh will be there.”
