CASE STUDY
Several years ago, if you were paying attention to the news, the U.S. Senate considered whether or not to confirm Brett Kavanaugh to the U.S. Supreme Court. For some of us old enough, it was very reminiscent of another nomination and appointment of Clarence Thomas in 1991.
Read about the Anita Hill/Clarence Thomas hearings and Dr. Ford/Kavanaugh hearings. Assess public reaction to each and the final decision of the Senate on each. Draw three parallels. Find one difference.
