Mark Gauvreau Judge (also credited as an author as Mark Judge, and Mark G. Judge) is an American journalist and author.

Early life

Judge was born in 1964.[1] Judge is the grandson of Joe Judge, a Major League Baseball player for the Washington Senators for the period 1915-1932, who took the team to a World Series win in 1924.[2][3] Mark Judge later wrote about his grandfather in his book, Damn Senators: My Grandfather and the Story of Washington's Only World Series Championship.[2][3] Mark Judge's father was also named Joe Judge.[1]

Judge attended Georgetown Preparatory School together with Brett Kavanaugh, later a federal court judge and Supreme Court of the United States nominee.[4] Christine Blasey Ford alleges that in 1982 Judge and Kavanaugh pushed her into a bedroom where Kavanaugh fondled her and attempted to remove her clothing against her will.[4] Judge denies remembering the incident.[4] Both Judge and Kavanaugh graduated in 1983.[4] The accusation surfaced during Kavanaugh's Supreme Court nomination.[4]

Career

Judge taught at Georgetown University but left in the 1990s.[4] In 1997 Judge wrote Wasted: Tales of a Gen-X Drunk, a memoir about his youthful alcoholism.[5][6] It includes a character named Bart O'Kavanaugh who passed out and threw up in a car.[4]

His book If It Ain't Got That Swing: The Rebirth of Grown-Up Culture, was published in 2001.[7] Judge commented upon the societal impact of 1960s subculture and argued that it produced a lethargic teenage culture pervasive throughout the twenty-first century.[8] In 2001, Judge was a contributor to the Claremont Review of Books, and wrote about a documentary series by Ken Burns.[9]

Judge published God and Man at Georgetown Prep in 2005.[4][10] Judge wrote that the faculty at Georgetown Prep contained a multitude of homosexual priests.[10] The memoir details how he published the school's underground newspaper which had information on wild parties.[4]
