US Supreme Court Nominee Kavanaugh Has Heard A ‘Water Wars’ Case Involving Ga.

U.S. Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh has some history with an important – and long-running – Georgia legal battle.

In 2006, he heard one of the cases in the water wars involving Georgia, Florida and Alabama. That fight is now in the Supreme Court, as Florida v. Georgia. The case Kavanaugh heard was in the D.C. District Court. Attorney Bruce Brown represented Georgia in that case.

“He’s scholarly and civil,” Brown said. “Obviously smart. He’s conservative in the traditional sense.”
