Kanaugh rules against the environment

Think Progress - Among Kavanaugh’s case history is a remarkably large number of decisions and writings pertaining to environmental policy. For Kavanaugh, that history is one of extreme opposition to environmental protections.

In their previous positions, no other Supreme Court nominee has shown such disregard for the nation’s laws protecting the environment and public health.

In its extensive review of Kavanaugh’s tenure on the D.C. Circuit, the League of Conservation Voters  found votes and opinions that sided with polluters over people on a regular basis.

“Quite frankly, with a record like this, a Senate confirmation of Kavanaugh will almost certainly put our rights to clean air, clean water, and equitable participation in our democracy at risk,” the LCV said in its review of Kavanaugh’s voting record as a judge on the D.C. Circuit.
