Just got out of a 2.5 hr court hearing for Garza v Azar, case abt abortion access for migrant girls that's also the only case where Kavanaugh has issued an opinion on abortion. In that opinion he said it's ok for a US govt agency to hinder abortion access for undocumented girls.
If this case makes it up to the Supreme Court—which it very well could, and soon—Brett Kavanaugh, if confirmed, would help decide it, unless forced to recuse himself, as one of the judges in today’s DC Circuit hearing pointed out.
(Reminder that this is also one of the 13 cases teed up right now that could give the high court the opportunity to overturn Roe v Wade asap bit.ly/2xRdiWu)
I got out of the hearing, turned on my phone, and saw the news about the latest allegations re: Kavanaugh sexually assaulting girls at high school parties.
That conflation of news today—a key abortion access case that could go before the high court, and allegations by women against a man who could sit on that court for decades—is *exactly* why investigating these allegations in a thorough, equitable manner is so important.
