U.S. Supreme Court Justice Brett M. Kavanaugh‘s Catholic faith and education guides his life daily, he recently said.
“There are certain principles — values — that I try to adhere to and think about and live up to,” he said Thursday at The Catholic University of America’s Columbus School of Law in Washington, D.C. “And I learned these primarily in Catholic school as a kid.”
Kavanaugh addressed an auditorium full of law students during an evening conversation with J. Joel Alicea, associate professor of law and director of the Columbus School of Law’s Center for the Constitution and the Catholic Intellectual Tradition (CIT), which sponsored the event.
During the hour-long discussion, the justice not only focused on his faith but also addressed the Supreme Court’s recent overturning of the Chevron doctrineimpacting the regulatory power of federal agencies, the role of the judiciary, originalism and tradition, the impact of past rulings on current cases (precedent and stare decisis), civility and collegiality, virtue, and religious liberty.
He said that the court, during his six years on the bench there, has made “correct and important strides” in the area of religious liberty.
