Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh has stated that he is"optimistic" about the Supreme Court's future after a historic year for the court in 2022.
Kavanaugh's comment comes amid views from the public that the Supreme Court is divided politically. Kavanaugh assured that the justices"disagree on some" of the cases they receive and that their disagreement is"more nuanced than it is sometimes portrayed," he said during an event this week at Notre Dame Law school.“I’m optimistic about the court, I’m optimistic about the country, I’m optimistic about my colleagues," Kavanaugh said.
Kavanaugh also offered praise to his fellow justices, stating that all nine of them have great relations"both personally and professionally.” Some of the justices he praised included former Justice Stephen Breyer, who"couldn't have been better at welcoming me to the court," and Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, who replaced Breyer after he retired last year and"is off to a great start.
In July 2022, a month after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, Justice Elena Kagan stated that the court needs to maintain confidence in the public"by acting like a court" and to avoid doing any actions that the public would deem"political or partisan."
