As Justice Brett Kavanaugh described the operations of the current Supreme Court on Thursday, he lauded it as “government at its finest.” He latched onto the phrase as he appeared in suburban Minneapolis before a group of federal judges from the midwest, the first public appearance of any of the nine justices since their contentious session closed in late June and amid growing controversy over their lack of a formal ethics code. Kavanaugh struck two other themes from the outset.
Bush who is now chief judge of the 8th Circuit, and US District Court Judge Sarah Elizabeth Pitlyk of the eastern district of Missouri. Pitlyk was a law clerk to Kavanaugh when he served on the DC Circuit appellate bench. She was appointed to the trial court in 2019 by then-President Donald Trump. “We would be derelict in our duties,” Pitlyk said near the end of the hour-long conversation, if Kavanaugh were not asked about some of the controversy surrounding the court.
