Brett Kavanaugh makes his first public speaking appearance as a justice with a speech to the conservative legal organization instrumental to his nomination.
One year after his confirmation to the Supreme Court, Brett Kavanaugh on Thursday makes his first public speaking appearance as a justice with a speech to the conservative legal organization instrumental to his nomination.
Kavanaugh, 54, has kept a low profile since his polarizing 2018 confirmation battle -- one of the most divisive in history -- which involved claims that he sexually assaulted several women while a high school and college student. He has strongly denied the allegations. One of Kavanaugh's accusers, California professor Christine Blasey Ford, recently defended her decision to deliver dramatic testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee in the days before a confirmation vote.
"My goal is to be a great Justice for all Americans and for all of America. I will work very hard to achieve that goal," he said. His tone in questioning during oral arguments and in written opinions has been both measured and straightforward, legal analysts say. Conservatives have celebrated his votes as reliably supportive of their views.
"Our Supreme Court judges are great gentlemen," President Trump said at a White House event this month celebrating his judicial nominations."And I have great respect for both of them."
