A new book sets out to exonerate not just Brett Kavanaugh but the president who nominated him. onesarahjones writes
Photo: Erin Schaff/AFP/Getty Images The day Brett Kavanaugh learned Donald Trump would nominate him to the U.S. Supreme Court, he first attended church. Early in their new book, Justice on Trial, Mollie Hemingway and Carrie Severino inform us that the future justice was a habitual church-goer. He was so committed, in fact, that he served as a lector in his local parish. On the day that would change his life, Providence had queued up a timely Scripture reading for Mass.
As Hemingway and Severino tell it, journalists were so eager to discredit Kavanaugh that they latched onto any thin proof of his sins. Christine Blasey Ford’s memory was so shoddy, her account so “improbable,” they write, that Kavanaugh’s innocence should have been obvious to all. And Ford herself was no innocent. In fact, classmates say her school nickname was “a riff on her maiden name and a sexual act,” the authors state.
So did the Times’ recent publication of an excerpt from another book on the Kavanaugh confirmation. Published by two of its own reporters, Robin Pogrebin and Kate Kelly, The Education of Brett Kavanaugh helped corroborate Ramirez’s account of misconduct and confirmed earlier reports that the FBI had failed to investigate key tips about Kavanaugh’s behavior.
