2 Of Brett Kavanaugh’s Former Classmates Withdraw Support For Him
“We fear that partisanship has injected itself into Judge Kavanaugh’s candidacy,” write Michael J. Proctor and Mark Osler.
By Jennifer Bendery
WASHINGTON ― Two former law school classmates of Brett Kavanaugh’s who previously vouched for him wrote to the Senate Judiciary Committee on Tuesday to say they are withdrawing their support for him because of “the nature” of his recent testimony.
“Under the current circumstances, we fear that partisanship has injected itself into Judge Kavanaugh’s candidacy,” Michael J. Proctor and Mark Osler say in a letter to Sens. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), the committee’s chairman and ranking member, respectively. “That, and the lack of judicial temperament displayed on September 27 hearing, cause us to withdraw our support.”
Proctor and Osler were among 23 classmates of Kavanaugh’s at Yale Law School who signed a letter in August pledging their support for his confirmation. At the time, they cited his “exemplary judicial temperament” as a reason for their support. But after watching Kavanaugh’s explosive behavior in his confirmation hearing as he addressed the sexual assault allegation against him by Christine Blasey Ford, the two former classmates say they can’t stand by him in his Supreme Court bid.
“The reason for our withdrawal is not the truth or falsity of Dr. Ford’s allegations, which are still being investigated, but rather was the nature of Judge Kavanaugh’s testimony,” they write. “In our view that testimony was partisan, and not judicious, and inconsistent with what we expect from a Justice of the Supreme Court, particularly when dealing with a co-equal branch of government.”
Here’s a copy of their letter:

Meanwhile, three of Kavanaugh’s former clerks who had written a letter supporting him told the Senate Judiciary Committee on Monday that they want to clarify that they are “deeply troubled” by the sexual assault allegations against him.
“We write to clarify that, like many Americans, we have been deeply troubled by those allegations and the events surrounding them and were encouraged by the initiation of a formal FBI investigation, which we believe is warranted,” reads a letter signed by Will Dreher, Bridget Fahey and Rakim Brooks. “We hope, for the good of everyone involved, that this investigation will be independent and thorough.”

The FBI is investigating Blasey’s allegations that a drunken, high-school-age Kavanaugh pushed her into a room, pinned her on a bed, groped her and covered her mouth when she tried to scream. He has denied her allegation, along with allegations of sexual misconduct by him from two other women. Republicans gave the FBI one week to look into these claims.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), who is eager to put Kavanaugh on the court, regardless of the allegations against him, said Tuesday that he’s aiming to hold Kavanaugh’s confirmation vote this week.

Dude never had a problem with judicial temperament his entire career, that's how he was nominated and approved all the way up the ladder
Now the fucking idiots suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome lie about him night and day all over the country, and when he stands up to defend himself the fucking idiots attack him for defending himself too.
They're just fucked in the head, don't try to reach them. Their souls rot, they're inherently dishonest, they have no shame and no honor, they are the scum of the earth, they are as dumb as they come, THEY'RE LIBTARD NATION

Ooooooh, another buck and a half added to the total. Btw, how many law professors have signed something IN SUPPORT of this mutt?
More than 650 law professors sign letter stating Kavanaugh lacks ‘judicial temperament,’ should not be confirmed
by Diana Stancy Correll| October 03, 2018 07:45 PM
More than 650 law professors, including 13 affiliated with Yale Law School and 21 with Harvard Law School, have signed a letter to the Senate arguing that Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh should not be confirmed because of his “lack of judicial temperament.”
The professors pointed to Kavanaugh’s appearance before the Senate Judiciary Committee last week amid allegations of sexual misconduct, where the Yale Law School graduate defended himself and called the attacks a “grotesque and coordinated character assassination.”
“The question at issue was of course painful for anyone. But Judge Kavanaugh exhibited a lack of commitment to judicious inquiry,” reads the letter, published by the New York Times on Wednesday. “Instead of being open to the necessary search for accuracy, Judge Kavanaugh was repeatedly aggressive with questioners.

“Even in his prepared remarks, Judge Kavanaugh described the hearing as partisan, referring to it as ‘a calculated and orchestrated political hit,’ rather than acknowledging the need for the Senate, faced with new information, to try to understand what had transpired,” the letter reads. “Instead of trying to sort out with reason and care the allegations that were raised, Judge Kavanaugh responded in an intemperate, inflammatory and partial manner, as he interrupted and, at times, was discourteous to senators.”
The letter states that judges are required to step aside if there is the possibility that they may be viewed as or display impartiality.
“We have differing views about the other qualifications of Judge Kavanaugh,” the letter states. “But we are united, as professors of law and scholars of judicial institutions, in believing that he did not display the impartiality and judicial temperament requisite to sit on the highest court of our land.”
Kavanaugh has been accused by multiple women of sexual misconduct, including Christine Blasey Ford, who also appeared before the Senate Judiciary Committee last week. Kavanaugh has rejected all allegations of sexual misconduct. While Kavanaugh has taught at Harvard Law for nearly 10 years, he will not return for an initially scheduled class on the Supreme Court in January.
The letter will be presented to lawmakers Thursday, and other professors have the opportunity to add their names to the list.

Btw, the above shows what scum you are: the first sentence above is in quotes, when, I never said any such thing, showing you're a ugly, boulder headed, short, fat, greasy fingered liar. I don't even know what your 16,400 figure is referring to, Blubber Runt. Meanwhile, answer the 9 questions, Obsessive Douche, then maybe Annie the Tranny will give you a mercy boning. Oh, and, it appears that Twittler has been a tax cheat for decades, and so have his siblings. No comment on THAT, Porky?
ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Are you privy to how many wrote letters in SUPPORT of Beer Boffing Brett? Or, how many were asked of their opinion of him, one way or the other? Of course you don't, so, you're a moron. Plus, you just ignored that you just got caught lying like the scum that you are in # 12. Why do you lie so much, Obsessive Douche? And, why won't you answer the 9 questions? Oh, and, it appears that Twittler has been a tax cheat for decades, and so have his siblings. No comment on THAT, Porky?Shush()*ointer
KNOCK OUT BLOW!!!!
LMAO, caught lying about "Btw, the above shows what scum you are: the first sentence above is in quotes, when, I never said any such thing, showing you're a ugly, boulder headed, short, fat, greasy fingered liar."
Notice he never brought it up again NOR apologized for LYING along with insults, and his whole comment was ABANDONED (just like over 1.2 of his threads when proven to be 110% bullshit)
REMEMBER: If you can somehow force a liberal into a point-counterpoint argument, his retorts will bear no relation to what you said--unless you were, in fact, talking about your looks, your age, your weight, your personal obsessions, or whether you are a fascist. In the famous liberal two-step, they leap from one idiotic point to the next, so you can never nail them. It's like arguing with someone with Attention Deficit Disorder. - Ann Coulter

650 out of 16900.....
So.... at what point during the hearing was he a JUDGE? Or was he a defendant/witness to allegations against him? Was calling it out the fact that it was DEMOCRATS (and democrat accuser) that brought these allegations fourth at the last possible moment before confirmation? So... at what point isnt he allowed to defend himself and call it as he sees it?

Wtf are you babbling about?

Brett Kavanaugh’s support list keeps getting shorter and shorter.
On Wednesday, he lost the support of a whole bunch of Christian churches, as the National Council of Churches—a coalition of 38 denominations, the largest of its kind—published a statement demanding that his beleaguered nomination process to the Supreme Court be stopped, once and for all.
The NCC joins the ever-growing crowd of organizations, institutions, and everyday Americans demanding that the beer-loving, calendar-keeping yellypants—who lied under oath about the little things while adamantly denying the big things, like numerous allegations of sexual assault—be denied his SCOTUS dreams.

Brett Kavanaugh’s support list keeps getting shorter and shorter.
On Wednesday, he lost the support of a whole bunch of Christian churches, as the National Council of Churches—a coalition of 38 denominations, the largest of its kind—published a statement demanding that his beleaguered nomination process to the Supreme Court be stopped, once and for all.
The National Council of Churches (NCC) calls for the withdrawal of the nomination of Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court of the United States. We believe he has disqualified himself from this lifetime appointment and must step aside immediately.
We note several reasons for this. During his appearance before the Senate Judiciary Committee, Judge Kavanaugh exhibited extreme partisan bias and disrespect towards certain members of the committee and thereby demonstrated that he possesses neither the temperament nor the character essential for a member of the highest court in our nation.
In addition, his testimony before the Judiciary Committee included several misstatements and some outright falsehoods, some in relation to accusations of sexual misconduct. All citizens must be expected to speak truthfully when under oath, however, this is especially true for anyone who seeks a seat on the Supreme Court.
Moreover, Judge Kavanaugh’s extensive judicial and political record is troubling with regard to issues of voting rights, racial and gender justice, health care, the rights of people with disabilities, and environmental protections. This leads us to believe that he cannot be an impartial justice in cases that are sure to come before him at the Court.
Therefore the National Council of Churches calls for the withdrawal of Judge Kavanaugh’s nomination to the Supreme Court immediately.
The ecumenical group claims to unify over 100,000 congregations spanning numerous denominations, accounting for over 40 million people. In other words, A LOT OF CHRISTIANS.We note several reasons for this.
