Missing the Larger Lessons of the Kavanaugh Confirmation Fight

Letter by CFJ director of public policy Ashley Baker published in The Boston Globe:

Although Joan Vennochi’s column “‘Justice on Trial’ and the lessons of the Kavanaugh nomination” (Opinion, Aug. 8) gives a concedingly biased but otherwise evenhanded recommendation of the book, the review underplays the real-life impact of the grueling ordeal and misses some historical context.
