Kavanaugh Takes Junior Justice Duty

As the court’s newest and therefore most junior associate justice -- confirmed 50-48 Saturday in the closest margin in more than a century -- Kavanaugh will bear some of the minor indignities that accompany the role. None of this has to do with the contentious nature of his confirmation, although two Democratic-appointed justices, Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor, acknowledged in remarks at Princeton University on Friday that they’re worried about a public perception that the court is being politicized. The two didn’t mention Kavanaugh by name or refer to the confirmation fight.
