In the absence of a direct meteor strike, Brett Kavanaugh is nearly certain to be the next associate justice of the Supreme Court of the United States.
Yes, he’ll have to suffer some formalities first, like sitting solemnly for a few days before the Senate Judiciary Committee, whose Republican leadership has fast-tracked his nomination and scheduled confirmation hearings to begin Tuesday.
There Judge Kavanaugh, President Trump’s second pick for the high court, will endure what Justice Elena Kagan once described as “a vapid and hollow charade” — days of tedious, predigested speeches by senators followed by carefully scripted questions, either softballs the nominee can hit out of the park or changeups he won’t bother to swing at.
