I was Supreme Court nominee Kavanaugh's law clerk -- Let me tell you about the man I know
Fox News ^ | July 14,2018 | Amit Agarwal,

The judge also goes out of his way to spend time with his clerks and to be a part of their lives. Frequent lunches with him are one of the many joys of the job. He travels the country to attend clerk weddings, and every year he invites his extended family of clerks to go see his beloved Washington Nationals baseball team.

At the end of the term, he treats his clerks to dinner to thank them and chat about their future goals. And he and his wife, Ashley, host an annual holiday dinner for all his past and present law clerks and their significant others at their home.

Of course, it wasn’t all fun and games. Clerking for Judge Kavanaugh was hard work. I remember he was toiling away on New Year’s Day and expected us to be there too. Late that afternoon, the judge walked over to where my co-clerks and I were working. He looked uncharacteristically sad. Then we found out why.

Judge Kavanaugh explained that his wife “called and said we all have to call it a day and go home.” I couldn’t help laughing. Like it or not, the judge was always candid in acknowledging – and gracious in following – controlling authority.

Still, we didn’t mind the long hours. We knew that Judge Kavanaugh worked harder – much harder – than anyone else, which inspired us to give it our all.

The judge brings the same boundless energy and enthusiasm to everything he does. He is a two-time Boston marathoner, and he has repeatedly earned the title of “fastest judge” in the ACLI Capital Challenge race. Even in chambers, he was hard to keep up with.

Isn’t this something that could be said of all judges? Sounds pretty generic.

The Nationals.......we’ve already heard how he’s had thousands of credit card charges for the Nationals..........

Can’t wait to hear what other “dirt” they dig up on him...........

I heard there are 1 million documents which supposedly are going to be requested by Democrats, to prepare for the hearings.

Yes, a bit generic. But still, interesting to hear. To listen to some of the overheated rhetoric, you would swear this man is a monster, just waiting to overturn Roe Vs. Wade, overturn the environmental laws, just waiting to personally impale women on coat hangars.

No they don’t all work that hard and they aren’t all that friendly.

Hell, no! Many are stuck up and won’t give “the little people” the time of day. They bark orders.

I had the displeasure of dealing with a few in my career and the power goes to the heads very quickly.

And they aren’t all that smart. That’s an extreme understatement. Many judges are obnoxious idiots

Yes, I’m sure most judges are marathoners who work on holidays and take deep personal interest in their clerk’s lives.

No. That’s the way it should be, but it isn’t. You are just simply wrong.

The horror - a judge who has credit card debt? He should be better than the rest of us 200 million Americans who have credit card debt. (Major sarcasm intended. Is that the best they can do? No pubic hairs anywhere?

Actually, there are judges who are tyranical and only get naive or masochistic clerks to work for them....

Same here. This snarky remark reeks of the Democrat Deep Swamp. Probably Hillary running her silly yap.

They come from the ranks of lawyers no? That would explain it.

If Ghandi was nominated to the SC by a Republican, the left would do their best to paint him as Satan. I would also point out that those who performed illegal abortions with coat hangers were like many abortionists now - unfettered by ethics and just trying to make money.
