https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Boof  Kavanaugh - was in the yearbook and was described as farting

Clayton Kozinski’s hiring by Justice Kennedy should surprise no one. Clayton is (1) a Yale Law School graduate; (2) a law clerk to Judge Brett Kavanaugh, a top feeder judge and former AMK clerk; and (3) son of Judge Alex Kozinski, also a top feeder judge and former AMK clerk. (And Brett Kavanaugh clerked for Judge Kozinski before clerking for Justice Kennedy, making the Kennedy-Kozinski nexus even stronger.)

Early legal career (1990–2006)

In 1992,[37] Kavanaugh then earned a one-year fellowship with the Solicitor General of the United States, Ken Starr.[38] Kavanaugh next clerked for Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy 1993–1994,[37] working alongside his high school classmate Neil Gorsuch and with future-Judge Gary Feinerman.[25]

After his Supreme Court clerkship, Kavanaugh worked until 1997 for Ken Starr again as an Associate Counsel in the Office of the Independent Counsel, where his colleagues included Rod Rosenstein and Alex Azar.[39]

Involvement with the Clinckton sex scandal

Kavanaugh was a principal author of the Starr Report to Congress, released in September 1998, on the Monica Lewinsky–Bill Clinton sex scandal; the report argued on broad grounds for Clinton's impeachment.[39] Kavanaugh had urged Starr to ask Clinton sexually graphic questions,[47][48] and described Clinton as being involved in "a conspiracy to obstruct justice", having "disgraced his office" and "lied to the American people".[49][50] The report provided extensive and explicit descriptions of each of the President's sexual encounters with Monica Lewinsky, a level of detail which the authors described as "essential" to the case against Clinton.[51]

U.S. Circuit Judge (2006–present)

President George W. Bush first nominated Kavanaugh to the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit on July 25, 2003, to a vacancy created by Judge Laurence Silberman, who took senior status in November 2000.[57] Kavanaugh's nomination was stalled in the Senate for nearly three years. Democratic Senators accused him of being too partisan, with Senator Dick Durbin calling him the "Forrest Gump of Republican politics".[58] In 2003, the American Bar Association rated Kavanaugh as "well qualified", but, after opposition from Senate Democrats, rated him in 2006 as only "qualified".[35] His nomination was opposed by People for the American Way.[59]

The United States Senate Committee on the Judiciary recommended confirmation on a 10–8 party-line vote on May 11, 2006,[60] and Kavanaugh was thereafter confirmed to the court by the United States Senate on May 26, 2006, by a vote of 57–36.[61][62] On June 1, 2006, he was sworn in by Justice Anthony Kennedy, for whom he had previously clerked, during a special Rose Garden ceremony at the White House.[63] Kavanaugh was the fourth judge nominated to the D.C. Circuit by Bush and confirmed by the United States Senate. Kavanaugh began hearing cases on September 11, 2006, and had his formal investiture on September 27, at the Prettyman Courthouse. His first published opinion was released on November 17, 2006.[64]


Kavanaugh being sworn in by Justice Anthony Kennedy as President George W. Bush and Kavanaugh's wife, Ashley Estes Kavanaugh, look on
In July 2007, Democratic Senators Patrick Leahy and Dick Durbin accused Kavanaugh of

"misleading" the Senate Judiciary Committee during his nomination. Durbin and Leahy accused Kavanaugh of lying to them in his confirmation hearing when he denied being involved in formulating the Bush administration's detention and interrogation policies in the aftermath of the September 11 terrorist attacks. In 2002,

Kavanaugh had met with other White House lawyers, and talked about whether or not the Supreme Court would approve of denying lawyers to prisoners detained as enemy combatants.

Kavanaugh had previously been a law clerk for Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy, and predicted in that meeting that Kennedy would not approve of denying legal counsel to those prisoners.[65] Durbin said, "It appears that you misled me, the Senate Judiciary Committee and the nation."[66] This issue re-emerged in July 2018, as Kavanaugh was under consideration for a nomination to the Supreme Court,[67] which Kavanaugh received.
