The Supreme Court's real battles these days are among the conservatives, and Justice Brett M. Kavanaugh is playing an increasingly critical role.
Justice Brett M. Kavanaugh during his combative 2018 confirmation hearing. In stark contrast, the justice today displays a generally upbeat manner.The crucial battles these days within the Supreme Court are among its six conservatives, not between them and the three liberals.Five years after he survived a bruising Senate confirmation, Kavanaugh has left little doubt about his conservative credentials, joining the 6-3 majority to roll back abortion rights and affirmative action.
Does the 2nd Amendment give gun rights to ex-felons and dangerous defendants? U.S. Supreme Court justices are about to decide.In June, with the fate of the Voting Rights Act in doubt, Kavanaugh cast a fifth vote to join Roberts and rule that Alabama’s Republicans must draw a new congressional district that might elect a Black Democrat. They reaffirmed that position last month.
Twice Kavanaugh played a key role in upholding Biden’s immigration policies against lawsuits brought by Texas Republicans. Kavanaugh’s “first five years are exactly what I thought they would be,” she says now. Although disappointed that Kavanaugh and the court overturned the right to an abortion in the Dobbs case, she said his overall record “shows he’s a mainstream conservative who is acutely aware of the practical consequences of the court’s decisions. I think this is Justice Kavanaugh’s court, meaning his vote will continue to have a decisive effect in the court’s most important cases.
But liberal critics scoff at the notion he is holding the middle and point out that he has not yet written significant majority opinions for the court.
