Forbes: Brett Kavanaugh Attends Conservative Holiday Party: Latest Supreme Justice Caught Cozying Up With Partisans

Washington Post: Why Kavanaugh partying with right-wing conservatives raises ethical questions

Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh partied last week with Trump inner-circle white supremacists Stephen Miller and Sebastian Gorka, disgraced Florida Congressman Matt Gaetz, Newsmax's Sean Spicer and Greta van Susteren, and Republican operative and Blackwater founder Erik Prince.

New coverage in The Washington Post, Forbes, The Seattle Times, Business Insider, and more -- shows that the firestorm is only getting hotter around Brett Kavanaugh and this Supreme Court's ethical and legitimacy issues.

JOIN TENS OF THOUSANDS WHO HAVE SIGNED ON: "This Supreme Court is increasingly facing a legitimacy crisis. The U.S. Senate must launch a full investigation and take steps to restore the American people’s trust and confidence in the Supreme Court."

Now, Judd Legum's Popular Information site is reporting more details about who exactly Kavanaugh chose to socialize with -- and the ethical issues that would create problems for any Federal Judge in the country -- but not Supreme Court Justices:

POPULAR INFO: Matt Schlapp [who hosted the party] is a far-right operative who wears many hats. He is chairman of the American Conservative Union (ACU), one of the nation's most powerful right-wing advocacy organizations. Schlapp also runs the Conservative Political Action Committee (CPAC) events, large gatherings featuring political extremists and conspiracy theorists like Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, My Pillow CEO Mike Lindell, and former White House chief strategist (and convicted felon) Steve Bannon...

"At the party, Kavanaugh was joined by guests that have business before the Supreme Court. Stephen Miller, a former advisor to Trump with an affinity for white nationalists, currently runs America First Legal -- an organization involved in several cases currently pending before Kavanaugh and the other members of the Supreme Court...

"If Kavanaugh was a judge in any other federal court, his attendance at Schlapp's party might have violated Cannon 2 of the Code of Conduct for United States Judges. Specifically, Kavanaugh is permitting Schlapp and others to, at a minimum, 'convey the impression' that they have special access."

Rulings by this court striking down abortion rights, voting rights protections, common-sense state and local gun regulations, federal action to combat climate change, and more -- against the will of the people -- have shaken the American people’s confidence in this Court and our democracy overall.

We have an ongoing campaign drawing attention to the Court's increasing legitimacy crisis. Everyone from Senator Elizabeth Warren to new House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries has worked with us to educate the public and increase the pressure on this extreme Court. By signing, you'll be joining this ongoing campaign.

SIGN ON: "This Supreme Court is increasingly facing a legitimacy crisis. The U.S. Senate must launch a full investigation and take steps to restore the American people’s trust and confidence in the Supreme Court."

We will share the support for this petition with the media, the White House, and key allies in Congress.
