Brett Kavanaugh
Conservatives who were hoping to get a new justice onto the Supreme Court before a major case involving illegal immigrants’ rights to abortion reaches the justices may end up being disappointed by PResident Trump’s Judge Brett M. Kavanaugh, warns The Washington Times.
Under standard court practice, Kavanaugh would have to recuse himself because he participated in the case while on the Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, writes reporter Alex Swoyer.
Swoyer explaqins: “While there are specific standards for district and circuit judges, there aren’t any hard-and-fast rules for the high court — only precedent. Justices set their own standards, and make decisions on a case-by-case basis.”
