Kavanaugh's first day at the Supreme Court: Whom did he hire?

On his first day on the job, Brett Kavanaugh has hired as many black law clerks as liberal justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg has hired in her entire career at the Supreme Court. Kevin Daley reports at The Daily Caller,

Since joining the high court in 1993, Ginsburg has hired over 100 law clerks, just one of whom is black.

Kavanaugh’s new clerks are Shannon Grammel, Megan Lacy, Sara Nommensen and Kim Jackson. These hires set a record in a second respect: Kavanaugh is the first Supreme Court justice to hire an all female class of clerks.
