Brett Kavanaugh Biography Flash a weekly Biography.

Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh has been in the news this past week for several very significant reasons and has made multiple high-profile public appearances. Most notably, Kavanaugh’s recent concurring opinion in a Supreme Court decision paved the way for Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents to use racial profiling during immigration raids, especially those in Los Angeles. Though his concurrence is not a majority opinion, outlets like the Washington Monthly and Lock Haven report it’s been interpreted as a strong signal to ICE that aggressive and potentially discriminatory tactics have judicial support. This move is being scrutinized nationally, with legal experts warning it could affect not just undocumented immigrants but also U.S. citizens who get caught up in enforcement sweeps.

Adding to the coverage, Kavanaugh’s opinion has drawn criticism from law professors and advocates for civil liberties, raising concerns about long-term impacts on Fourth Amendment protections and the normalization of racial profiling. Washington Monthly and other commentators argue that this stance by Kavanaugh could shape lower court rulings and law enforcement operations for years to come.

On the public appearance front, Kavanaugh has been active on the speaking circuit this September. On September 25th, he visited Baylor Law School in Texas as the featured speaker for the Kenneth W. Starr Federalist Papers Lecture Series, where he spoke with Dean Jeremy Counseller about judicial independence and the importance of constitutional precedent, according to Baylor Law’s official news feed. Earlier, on September 11th, Kavanaugh addressed a crowd of over 2,000 at McLennan Community College for the Ken Starr Lecture Series, where students and faculty noted his emphasis on the importance of the Supreme Court as an institution insulated from popular pressures. Student attendees from Tarleton State University described his comments as a defense of judicial integrity and a reminder that justices serve for life, shielded from electoral concerns, so they can uphold the Constitution without political influence.

Kavanaugh has also weighed in on broader judicial transparency debates, dismissing the idea of televising Supreme Court proceedings but expressing support for preserving live audio of oral arguments, as recently reported by Fix the Court.

In the world of social media and political controversy, references to Kavanaugh’s 2022 assassination attempt continue to surface. The Washington Times reports new details in federal sentencing filings for Nicholas Roske, who planned to target Kavanaugh and researched lethal methods online. This story is feeding into a larger national conversation on online extremism, violence against public officials, and legislative efforts to reform Section 230 protections for social platforms.

There hasn’t been a significant viral social media moment or tweet involving Kavanaugh in the past 24 hours, and as of the latest headlines this morning, no new major scandal or controversy has broken.
