Brett Michael Kavanaugh is a member of the United States Supreme Court. On July 9, 2018, President Donald Trump nominated him for the position, and he has been in office since October 6, 2018.
He previously served on the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit as a United States circuit judge and worked as a staff lawyer for various federal agencies.
Kavanaugh was a member of the Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity at Yale University, where he studied history. After graduating from Yale Law School, he worked as a law clerk for Judge Ken Starr.
Following Starr’s departure from the D.C. Circuit to lead the Office of Independent Counsel, Kavanaugh assisted him with a number of investigations into President Bill Clinton, including drafting the Starr Report, which recommended Clinton’s impeachment.
He joined the Bush administration as White House staff secretary following the 2000 presidential election, where he worked for George W. Bush’s campaign in the Florida recount.
He was a key figure in the administration’s efforts to identify and confirm judicial nominees. In 2003, Bush nominated Kavanaugh to the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals.
His confirmation hearings were tumultuous, and they were stalled for three years due to partisanship allegations. Following a series of negotiations between Democratic and Republican senators, he was eventually confirmed to the D.C. Circuit in May 2006.
The Washington Post commissioned two law professors to assess Kavanaugh’s appellate court decisions in four different areas of public policy. From 2003 to 2018, he was “one of the D.C. Circuit’s most conservative judges,” according to the report.
