Brett Kavanaugh eventually sworn in; disgusted Americans ‘celebrate’ by drinking beer
Washington, Oct 8: Brett Kavanaugh, the 53-year-old attorney who was recently accused by a number of women of sexual misconduct in his early life, has eventually been sworn in as the 114th justice of the Supreme Court of the United States on Saturday, October 6. Though US President Donald Trump was elated by the decision as Kavanaugh has been his nominee and he blamed the Opposition for trying to ruin the lawyer's life, the common Americans were disgusted with the development.
Kavanaugh was accused by a psychology professor named Christine Blasey Ford last month of sexual assault in the 1980s when they were in the high school. The episode led to a he controversy in American politics with several disapproving of Kavanaugh as the Supreme Court justice. Two other women also came forward after Blasey's charges while Trump mocked her at a public rally for bringing the accusations against the attorney.
