The nomination of Judge Brett Kavanaugh by President Trump to serve as an Associate Justice on the Supreme Court could shift the balance on the Court and dramatically undermine women’s and civil rights and LGBTQ equality for generations. Protests across the country have warned that if he is confirmed, Kavanaugh could be the decisive vote to overturn Roe v. Wade, gut the Affordable Care Act and undermine the hard fought gains for working people and the environment.
In our fall issue, award-winning author Amanda Hollis-Brusky takes stock not just of the threats Kavanaugh poses should he be confirmed, but of the efforts by Trump to stack the federal courts, at every level, with nominees just like Kavanaugh.

We’re also closely examining Kavanaugh’s record, and taking stock of the impact his confirmation could have on women, people of color and other marginalized communities.
