She <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/opinions\/2022\/12\/13\/brett-kavanaugh-justices-ethics-speaking-gigs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">wrote Tuesday<\/a> that she\u2019s not \u201cworked up\u201d about Justice Brett Kavanaugh attending <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/newsletters\/playbook\/2022\/12\/10\/hunter-biden-goes-on-offense-00073365\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">a Christmas party<\/a> with prominent Republicans. But she does find it \u201cconcerning\u201d that the judge isn\u2019t branching out more.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA conservative justice partying with conservative activists feeds into a perception of the court, fairly or not, as an institution tainted with partisanship,\u201d wrote Marcus. She said there was a \u201ctendency among justices to speak to, or attend events sponsored by, groups and institutions with which they are ideologically attuned,\u201d but that the more conservative-minded justices in particular \u201cseem lately inclined to favor friendly institutions, religious and conservative organizations.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Shorter version: <em>Why isn\u2019t Kavanaugh partying with the people who don\u2019t like him?!<\/em><\/p>\n<p>This woman, the same woman who pushed the wholly unfounded accusation <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2020\/04\/20\/dont-let-washington-post-get-away-with-memory-holing-its-anti-kavanaugh-campaign\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">that Kavanaugh is a rapist<\/a>, is seriously bothered that any Republican-aligned figure or official these days would rather not venture outside of his comfort zone?

There is, by the way, no such thing as neutral territory in Washington. Everywhere that isn\u2019t explicitly patronized by Republicans and conservatives is liberal by default. Marcus even admits it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c[P]erhaps some or all of the conservative justices fear that appearing in a more neutral and traditional venue, such as a law school, would open them to criticism or heckling,\u201d she wrote. \u201cThat\u2019s not in any way far-fetched.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>No kidding.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this year, after <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2022\/05\/10\/the-angry-vindictive-left-is-here-to-stay-and-their-reaction-to-the-scotus-leak-proves-it\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">a draft decision<\/a> by the Supreme Court overturning <em>Roe v. Wade<\/em> leaked to the news media, rowdy protesters showed up outside the residential homes of several of the Republican-appointed justices.

(To which Marcus surely asked, \u201cWhat\u2019s Kavanaugh afraid of?!\u201d).<\/p>\n<p>Around the same time, GOP Sen.
