Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh challenged the framing of Roe v. Wade as “settled law of the land” when he was a White House attorney during the George W. Bush administration, according to documents from his tenure that were leaked to the New York Times.
During his confirmation hearings, which were in their third day when the report was published Thursday, Kavanaugh did not say how he would rule on Roe, the Supreme Court decision that made abortion legal nationwide, but said that the ruling had been “reaffirmed many times.”
