Brett Kavanaugh Continues Serving Despite Intimidation

Bravo, Brett Kavanaugh.

To be an officer of the United States, delegated a portion of the sovereign power of this country, is a high honor and privilege. It also comes with many responsibilities and sacrifices. The job often entails a pay cut, and while you are in office, your freedom to act as any American citizen would is limited. You have to watch what you say, where you go, and what you do. During Senate confirmation and once you enter public service, your life is under withering scrutiny from political interests hunting for careers and reputations to shred for the sake of their base. Of course this affects your family as well.
