Brett Kavanaugh
Brett Kavanaugh is an associate justice of the United States Supreme Court, appointed in 2018.
His confirmation hearings became a national flashpoint when Christine Blasey Ford testified that he had sexually assaulted her decades earlier—allegations he denied.
His name now evokes that controversy: The nomination turned into a Kavanaugh-style spectacle.
