President Donald Trump's second Supreme Court nomination was heavily protested by Democrats and liberal activists before Trump had even named Kavanaugh. Upon Kavanaugh's nomination, Democrats opposed him on key issues including abortion, environmental protection, and presidential powers.

His nomination was rocked sexual assault allegations brought against him by Christine Blasey Ford and others, but no concrete evidence of wrongdoing ever became public and Kavanaugh denied all charges.

The fight over Kavanaugh's confirmation became particularly ugly with Kavanaugh, Ford, and potential witnesses on all sides, and Senators receiving death threats.

Kavanaugh's accuser Ford recently revealed she can't move back home because of unending death threats.
