HIS FIRST DAY – AT 2:21 P.M. ET:   Justice Kavanaugh went to work this morning at the Supreme Court.  He was a full participant.  From Reuters: 

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Moving beyond a ferocious confirmation battle that divided the country, Brett Kavanaugh got down to business as a U.S. Supreme Court justice on Tuesday and took an active role in arguments alongside his eight new colleagues on his first day on the job.

Kavanaugh asked several questions during lively oral arguments involving a federal sentencing law for repeat offenders, three days after being confirmed by the Republican-led Senate despite being accused of sexual assault. Appointed by President Donald Trump, Kavanaugh’s confirmation cemented a conservative majority on the court that could last for years.

He took his seat at the right end of the mahogany bench in the ornate courtroom, wearing traditional black robes like the other justices. Retired Justice Anthony Kennedy, the 82-year-old jurist who Kavanaugh replaced, was in the courtroom, as were members of the new justice’s family.

With police standing by, a handful of protesters gathered outside the Supreme Court building, holding signs saying “Shame” and “He sits on a throne of lies,” while chanting, “This isn’t over, we’re still here.” There were no disruptions by protesters during the oral arguments, with security tight in the courtroom.

COMMENT:  Ordinarily, one would say that Kavanaugh's ordeal is over, but I think the fanatics are very serious in their pledge to continue their fight over his confirmation.  They are promising to seek his impeachment, and, given the madness within the Democratic Party, they may actually try.
