A few months before that, Kavanaugh represented former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush in his controversial quest to set up a school voucher program that would direct public money to private religious schools. The Florida Supreme Court ultimately struck down the program in 2006.
Jeb Bush's brother, George, then president, nominated Kavanaugh in 2003 for the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit a move that didn't sit well with Illinois Democratic Sen. Dick Durbin.
Durbin, during Kavanaugh's confirmation hearings, called him the "Forrest Gump of Republican politics whether it's Elian Gonzalez or the Starr Report, you are there."
Kavanaugh, who clerked for Justice Anthony Kennedy, the Supreme Court justice who is retiring, had also worked for independent counsel Kenneth Starr.
