Facebook fetes Kavanaugh
Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh has kept a relatively low-profile since the Senate narrowly confirmed him last year amidst serious allegations of sexual assault. That will change tonight when Kavanaugh is the keynote speaker at the annual convention for The Federalist Society, an enormously powerful right-wing legal organization.

The event tonight is black-tie optional and backed by a group of "Gold Circle" sponsors. Most of the sponsors, as you might expect, are law firms. But there are a few exceptions, including the world's largest social media company: Facebook.

Facebook's conspicuous role in an event honoring Kavanaugh is likely to be a source of controversy among Facebook employees. In 2018, Kavanaugh made a second appearance before the Senate Judiciary Committee to address allegations of sexual assault. Sitting behind Kavanaugh, in a show of support, was Facebook's head of global public policy, Joel Kaplan.

The Federalist Society, Facebook, and the impeachment debate
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg told employees that it would "suck" if Elizabeth Warren, one of the leading Democratic candidates, becomes president. Now, as the public impeachment hearings begin, Facebook is aligning itself with an organization that argues that the Democrats' impeachment investigation is illegal.
