Ginsburg praises Kavanaugh for first all-female team of SCOTUS clerks

Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg applauded her colleague Brett Kavanaugh for bringing on an all-female group of law clerks upon his appointment to the U.S. Supreme Court during a speech on Friday at a judicial conference.
The big picture: Ginsburg is revered as a feminist icon while Kavanaugh faced an uphill battle during his confirmation process when multiple women accused him of sexual misconduct. This acknowledgment from RBG could be viewed as a win for Kavanaugh's reputation.

I think there's a method to Kavanaugh's madness.

(3,741 posts)If Thomass name sounds familiar, it may be because she is married to Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, who has been on the bench for nearly three decades. But Ginni Thomas has long carved out her own place in conservative politics sometimes to the chagrin of those who say her involvement poses a conflict of interest due to her husbands role.

below is a pic of his clerks before he was on the SC. someone said how he had certain standards and of course it was all about physical appearance.

Is there a dress code that only allows for grey, charcoal, or black? Or did they plan to have matching outfits for "picture day?" Or just some freaky coincidence? is the woman on the far right going to get in trouble for her tiny pop of color turquoise necklace?

I hope Hugh Hefner gets credit for hiring women as well

I can almost see him swinging toward the lefties on just a few cases. He may prevent the court going full fascist until we can get a shot at an appointment.
