WASHINGTON (AP) Pausing in his pursuit of Supreme Court robes, nominee Brett Kavanaugh donned a blue apron Wednesday afternoon to help serve meals to the homeless.
The conservative appellate court judge chosen by President Donald Trump to replace retiring Justice Anthony Kennedy stood outside Catholic Charities in downtown Washington, D.C., where he spent an hour dishing out mac and cheese to a long line of people, many of whom did not appear to recognize the newly minted nominee in a baseball cap, polo shirt and shorts.
"Want some mac?" Kavanaugh asked, as he scooped it into paper to-go boxes to accompany barbecue sandwiches, watermelon and chips.
Kavanaugh was greeted by the Rev. John Enzler, the president and CEO of Catholic Charities in Washington who has known the judge from the time he was an altar boy. Enzler, who attended the White House announcement Monday, said Kavanaugh is part of a Roman Catholic society that volunteers to serve meals a number of times a year.

(37 posts)But that doesn't mean he's got the judicial philosophy America needs. But ultimately it doesn't matter. No GOP senator is voting against their supreme court nominee and we don't have the Senate.

It's like an arsonist torching your house and then showing up with a squirt gun.

These public servants are just wonderful, aren't they?

(3,473 posts)I assumed the answer was no and this was just a photo op propaganda. But his record and how he might rule when it comes to what is best for the people is what really matters.
