White House Touts Kavanaugh's Business-Friendly Rulings
-------------------------------------------------------

The White House touted federal Judge Brett Kavanaugh's business-friendly
record in a one-page memo handed out to corporate executives after
Kavanaugh's nomination to the U.S. Supreme Court on Monday. The New York
Times reports the memo boasted that Kavanaugh overruled federal agencies
on 75 occasions. In one business-friendly ruling, Kavanaugh dissented in
a 2-1 decision that slapped Sea World with a $70,000 OSHA fine over the
death of trainer Dawn Brancheau, who was killed at Sea World Orlando in
2010 after a captive killer whale bit her and dragged her underwater.
