Justice Brett Kavanaugh, one of the Left’s favorite punching bags (and assassination targets), is facing criticism for attending a private holiday party hosted by Matt Schlapp, the chairman of the Conservative Political Action Coalition. That Kavanaugh might want to see and spend time with other conservatives is, apparently, an unforgivable offense. Bloomberg Law even claimed Kavanaugh’s attendance could raise ethical questions “about when a justice’s personal relationships cross a line and become problematic.”

Attending a party with people who “live, eat, and breathe conservative political action,” such as Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) and former Trump adviser Stephen Miller, either reflects Kavanaugh’s “insensitivity” to the demands of his position or his “indifference” toward them, according to Charles Geyh, an Indiana University Maurer School of Law professor.
