With the controversy still simmering over his Supreme Court confirmation, Brett Kavanaugh has hit the ground running — and became the first high court justice to hire all women as his law clerks.

Kavanaugh on Sunday started researching upcoming cases as the court begins the second week of its current term.

He huddled with his four female law clerks in chambers that had been occupied by Justice Samuel Alito, who moved to Justice Anthony Kennedy’s old chambers following his retirement.

Kavanaugh was confirmed Saturday in a 50-48 Senate vote — the closest for a winning nominee since 1881.
