Huge standing ovation for Justice Kavanaugh at #FedSoc2019. It's been a big year - "I got a new job!"
👏👏👏 Image
Referring to the way he and WH counsel Don McGahn traded scenes from the movie Miracle in prep for his hearing (read the details in Justice on Trial chapter 9!) - "Coach McGahn, thank you."
Kavanaugh's legacy already secure: he has secured pizza on the SCOTUS cafeteria menu (the traditional duty of the junior Justice). Making Cafeterias Great Again! 🍕👨‍⚖️
Kavanaugh gives an amazing tribute to Justice Scalia. Constitutional change is for the amendment process, not unelected judges. Feels he walks in Scalia's footsteps when he attends daily Mass at St. Joseph or St. Peter's near the Court.
Kagan said Kavanaugh joining the Court meant an increase in sports talk and a decrease in Shakespeare analysis. "What can I say? To thine own self be true."
Kavanaugh: Lots have changed since I clerked on the Court. Two things that are the same: Clarence Thomas and Ruth Ginsburg.

He gave a beautiful image of them walking arm in arm off the bench after arguments.
Kavanaugh gives a lovely tribute to Justice Ginsburg as an inspiration to his own female clerks.
Tearing up whole talking about his daughter Liza, "Matt Damon would've made it through this."
Kavanaugh received the warm welcome he deserved. As RBG said, Kavanaugh displayed decency, kindness and the respect and camaraderie among the Justices. Rather than smears Justice Kavanaugh brought cheers and gave a moving, funny speech. And fittingly ended with "be not afraid."

Notre Dame Law School’s @DerektMuller conducted a comprehensive survey of the ideological leanings of the biggest law firms’ pro bono work at the Supreme Court as a way of gaining insight into the firms’ own ideological leanings.

The findings published expose just how deep the left-wing bias really is inside prestigious law firms.

journals.law.harvard.edu/jlpp/ideologic…Image
Muller looked at pro bono amicus briefs submitted in Supreme Court merits docket cases.

Over the four years between October 2018 and June 2022, Muller counted 851 amicus briefs (of the 3,280 filed in total) that were likely submitted pro bono by firms among the top 100 measured by gross revenue (the “Am Law 100”).Image
Overall, 64% of those briefs were aligned with the liberal position versus 31% with the conservative position, while the balance were in support of neither party.

Chief Justice John Roberts will soon appoint a new director of the Administrative Office of U.S. Courts—the chief administrative officer of the federal courts (AO).

Recently the AO has inappropriately engaged in the Left's DEI practices so it’s imperative the next person chosen for the role refocuses on doing the actual job.

The AO came under fire last year when it was reported by @DailyCaller that it launched several DEI-focused initiatives in recent years, including launching its “Model Intern Diversity Program” in 2018 and even hiring a DEI officer in 2020.

As is typically the case with DEI, only immutable characteristics matter.

Merit and diversity of thought are not major considerations under DEI-hiring practices.

And of course, the AO’s annual report selectively highlighted the stories of only Democrat-appointed judges.

Democrats want to destroy the Supreme Court:

“I want to tell you, Gorsuch. I want to tell you, Kavanaugh. You have released the whirlwind, and you will pay the price. You won’t know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions.”

Senator @LindseyGrahamSC on how the Democrats’ unhinged rhetoric attacking the Supreme Court helped lead to an assassination attempt against Justice Kavanaugh:
@LindseyGrahamSC “This is about an ongoing effort to destroy this Court, to destroy Clarence Thomas’s reputation, to pack the Court, to get your way, to make sure the Supreme Court as it exists today can’t function.” - Senator @LindseyGrahamSC 🎯

Today's unanimous ruling in Groff v. DeJoy further extends the Court's string of religious liberty victories. 🧵/1
For decades, the Court’s decision in Trans World Airlines v. Hardison contained language that set an unfortunate standard for review of Title VII employment discrimination claims based on religion. Lower courts would overwhelmingly side with employers whenever a religious… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
With its opinion today, the Court turned that tide by ruling against the postal service, which failed to accommodate a strict Sabbatarian Christian who observes as a sacred obligation keeping the Sabbath day holy and avoiding work on Sundays. /3

Senator Graham is already making the connection between today’s hearing and intimidation of the justices.

He reminds that Sen. Schumer promised the justices would “reap the whirlwind,” and here we are.

Flashback:

“I want to tell you, Gorsuch. I want to tell you, Kavanaugh. You have released the whirlwind, and you will pay the price. You won’t know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions.” - Senator Chuck Schumer

@SenWhitehouse doing his usual routine.

. @GovRonDeSantis just signed a law permitting the death penalty for individuals convicted of raping children under the of age 12 — which would likely be challenged before the Supreme Court.

I was clerking for Justice Thomas at the Court when the underlying case (Kennedy vs. Louisiana) was decided in 2008.
Patrick Kennedy was found guilty of brutally raping his 8-year-old stepdaughter. She actually needed surgery to repair the physical damage he inflicted.
