No one becomes a Supreme Court Justice by accident, but Brett Kavanaugh has worked with seeming extraordinary calculation for the moment that arrived this week, when President Trump announced his nomination to the high court. The journey has proved extravagantly successful for Kavanaugh, but it’s far less clear that his ascension will be good news for the rest of us.
At fifty-three, Kavanaugh is still mid-career, and his professional development can be seen as two complementary halves: first as a Republican lawyer and activist, and then as a Republican judge. His intelligence has never been in doubt.
