Bloomberg :The Most Hated Justice on the Supreme Court

Justice Brett Kavanaugh has been a liberal target since his brutal confirmation fight in 2018. That he strikes a more conciliatory tone than colleagues doesn’t appease his critics.

Four years after angrily denying sexual assault allegations at his Senate confirmation, Justice Brett Kavanaugh remains the US Supreme Court’s lightning rod no matter how many conciliatory opinions he writes.

Kavanaugh is at the center of the conservative court, joining the majority more than any other justice in the past two terms. He’s less confrontational than some colleagues, often acknowledging the force of the other side’s arguments. In casting key votes to eliminate constitutional abortion protections and expand gun rights, he wrote separately to lay out limits to those rulings.
