WACO, Texas (AP) — Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh says the genius of the American system of government is that no one should have too much power. That’s even as Kavanaugh and other conservatives on the high court face criticism for deferring repeatedly to President Donald Trump. Kavanaugh says the framers of the Constitution were set on avoiding the concentration of power. Kavanaugh said Thursday at an event honoring his onetime boss Kenneth Starr that “no one person or group of people should have too much power in our system.” Trump’s robust effort to remake the federal government did not come up at the event.
