Description

We return to our look at all the sitting Supreme Court justices with the final two - Justices Kavanaugh and Gorsuch.  This necessarily involves revisiting the confirmation process, particularly in the case of Justice Kavanaugh, where Professor Amar played a role in print and in the witness chair.  How have the first years of his tenure, along with Justice Barrett’s, played out in light of some of the events of those confirmations?  The early returns are fascinating.
