Nearly an hour into a “fireside chat” at the University of Houston Law Center, Anita Hill finally got to the topic everyone had been waiting for—Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s U.S. Supreme Court confirmation hearing.

Hill said confirmation hearings are really about the character of the lawyer nominated to serve on the highest court in the country. Hill, who gained fame when she testified at Justice Clarence Thomas’ confirmation hearing in 1991, said the test is whether Kavanaugh “met the minimum standards of fitness to serve on the highest court.”
