Brett Kavanaugh Joins Supreme Court Amid Controversy
In October 2018, Brett Kavanaugh was confirmed to the Supreme Court following a polarizing confirmation process. His appointment cemented a conservative majority on the Court, with rulings that have weakened reproductive rights, upheld gerrymandered voting maps, and limited federal oversight in combating discrimination. Kavanaugh’s decisions reflect a backlash against decades of progress in civil rights, threatening to drag the country backward in the fight for justice and equality.
