Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh has just honored a promise he made to Senators on the Judiciary Committee during his first four days of hearings:
THE HILL – Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh has hired four women to clerk for him, maintaining a pledge during his confirmation process to hire an all-female staff, The New York Times reported Sunday.
The hires reportedly make Kavanaugh, who was confirmed and sworn-in over the weekend, the first Supreme Court justice to have an all-female staff.
The Times reported that only one of the four women, Kim Jackson, previously worked for Kavanaugh at the appellate court level. The other three are Shannon Grammel, Megan Lacy and Sara Nommensen, each of whom worked for appeals court judges appointed by Republicans, it added.
Lacy has also worked for Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), the newspaper reported.
Kavanaugh told senators last month in his confirmation hearing that the majority of his clerks during his 12 years as a federal judge have been women in an effort to improve representation, and that, if confirmed, he planned to hire all women for his initial staff.
Justice Brett Kavanaugh has hired a black law clerk for his new chambers at the U.S. Supreme Court, matching Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s record of African-American clerkship hiring during her tenure on the nation’s highest judicial tribunal.
If this were an activist Supreme Court Justice, the left and media would be falling all over themselves to sing their praises and high-five each other over such a diverse set of law clerks.
