Brett Kavanaugh has the unique distinction of being the first SCOTUS Justice who required an FBI tip line during his Senate confirmation process. He now also holds the unique distinction of being the first SCOTUS Justice to test positive for coronavirus.
Yesterday, the 56-year-old tested positive for COVID-19. Luckily, he is vaccinated and has no symptoms, and his immediate family members have all tested negative, so that’s good.

The test was taken ahead of fellow Justice Amy Coney Barrett’s investiture ceremony, which is happening today. Unfortunately for Brett, his positive diagnosis means he’ll have to miss the party, which is probably very disappointing for him.
It’s definitely for the best, though, since the last time everyone gathered to celebrate Amy Coney Barrett nearly half the guests left with COVID, and we certainly don’t want a repeat of that.

Kavanaugh’s diagnosis also means he might not be on the bench when the new SCOTUS term kicks off on Monday, which would be the first in-person session with all nine justices.
According to the CDC:
Vaccine breakthrough cases are expected. COVID-19 vaccines are effective and are a critical tool to bring the pandemic under control; however, no vaccine is 100% effective at preventing illness. Some fully vaccinated people will get sick, and some will even be hospitalized or die from COVID-19. However, there is evidence that vaccination may make illness less severe for those who are vaccinated and still get sick. The risk of infection, hospitalization, and death are all much lower in vaccinated people compared to unvaccinated.
Even though he hates us, we hope Kavanaugh remains asymptomatic and has a speedy recovery.
And now, some tweets…

The thing I want to know regarding Brett Kavanaugh’s COVID-19 diagnosis is: Who paid off his $92,000 country club fees plus his $200,000 credit card debt plus his $1.2 million mortgage, and purchased themselves a SCOTUS seat?

When Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg passed I prayed for her. When she was sick I prayed for her. Keep that in mind when you see liberals celebrating and mocking the diagnosis of Justice Brett Kavanaugh today. They never fail to show you who they are.

SCOTUS Justice Brett Kavanaugh has tested positive for COVID. He’s probably a high risk case due to chronic liver damage. Many people will be holding a vigil for a good outcome.

Brett Kavanaugh has tested positive for Covid-19. It seems the Republicans always get the virus and not Democrats. Is this part of the PlanDEMic??

BREAKING: Supreme Court justice and sexual assault advocate Brett Kavanaugh has COVID.
He’s not complaining, as he has no problem with something entering someone’s body without their permission.

Is now a good time to ask who paid off Brett Kavanaugh's $60,000 -$200,000 worth of credit card and loan debt?

It says a lot about bleeding heart liberals being the caring, compassionate ones in society, that Twitter fills up with the gloating because Brett Kavanaugh tests positive for Covid. #BrettKavanaugh

Brett Kavanaugh should not be allowed to abort the coronavirus. It needs to go to full term.

Brett Kavanaugh has COVID so we can conclude that drinking beer is not a viable preventative treatment.

The article says he’s been vaccinated: Luckily, he is vaccinated and has no symptoms, and his immediate family members have all tested negative

i never said i was a good person so this is one time i’ve regretted hearing someone who is vaccinated has tested covid-positive.

The consensus is that even though you’ve been vaccinated you can’t get COVID—that’s like saying “I got the flu shot, so I can’t get the flu”. Both ideas are wrong. The shots will mitigate symptoms. The thing about the COVID shot is that it degrades in the body after about 6 months or so; hence the booster shot.
