(LIBERTY NATION) – Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanagh has tested positive for coronavirus as part of a standard testing protocol. According to the Court’s press release, he has been vaccinated since January and is experiencing no symptoms. While announcing that Kavanaugh will miss Justice Amy Coney Barrett’s investiture service on Friday, October 1, 2021, the Court was silent on whether Justice Kavanaugh will be present for oral arguments next week.
The high Court is starting its new term with oral arguments on Monday, October 4, the first in-person arguments scheduled since the pandemic’s start. The Court announced in September it would resume sessions in the courtroom, barring the public due to health concerns. Later it announced a live feed of arguments would be available for “all oral arguments scheduled for the October, November, and December sessions.”
