Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh received an extended standing ovation from members of the conservative Federalist Society on Thursday night as he delivered his first high-profile speech since his tumultuous confirmation hearing a year ago
Kavanaugh thanked many in the audience who had stood by him and supported him during the confirmation process. He said his theme for the evening was"gratitude."As he spoke, some protesters sitting at tables in the room blew high-pitched whistles -- and were escorted out. After they left the room, it again erupted into applause.
Kavanaugh, writing for a 7-2 court, held that a death row inmate's rights had been violated when a prosecutor tried him six times for murder, which the court found to be unconstitutional racial discrimination. Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg -- the leading liberal on the court -- gave him one opinion where he voted with his liberal colleagues to allow an antitrust class action lawsuit against Apple go forward.
