More than 650 law professors sign letter stating Kavanaugh lacks ‘judicial temperament,’
Washington Examiner ^ | 10/03/2018 | Diana Stancy Correll

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.”

Lists like these may prove very useful when military tribunals sort out the aftermath of CW2.

List is now up to 1000+.


That’s stunning. These professors are poisoning the minds of the next generation of lawyers and judges.

They have saved someone a lot of work, by assembling their own list of law professors who do not possess the integrity or moral character to hold a position of such responsibility, and who therefore ought to be investigated to find out what crimes they may have committed during the past 35 years.

After all, that's 'the new normal', according to their own rules.

B. S.

Totally!

There has been zero evidence of Kavanaugh not being qualified on any of a number of determining factors.

If you don’t show the correct temperament to State Authorities they can and will remove your child from your home and require you to see a psychiatrist to be “a man and a human being”.

“I cannot spare this man; he fights”
-Abraham Lincoln talking about Ulysses Grant

This could have been President Trump speaking of Judge Brett Kavanaugh. Yes; we do want a Justice who will fight for what is right and some delusional living document.

I looked it up and found there are 131 full time faculty at Harvard Law Scrool and another 68 Visiting professors.

So depending how broad the term “faculty” is applied, the 20 Harvard types represent about 10 to 15% of the total professors.
