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.”

What have all these sanctimonious bozos had to say about his judicial temperament during the ten (?) Years he”s been on the DC Court of Appeals?
They sound just plain stupid when all their caterwauling is put in context.
In other news, 650 law professors sign a letter expressing their complete lack of judicial temperament and disqualifying themselves to even serve in traffic court.
Exactly what I was going to say. I wonder what their “judicial temperament” would look like if they had to endure even half of what Kavanaugh has gone through.
Well gee...too late. He’s already been a Judge for 12 years.
Righteous anger.
Law Professors = arrogant but can’t do math or science liberals
Why ruin Alaska's clean air. Just send them to Gitmo.
Oh good, maybe we can get past this awkward stage pretty soon.
A list, it could come in handy.
Kavanaugh called the sham hearing exactly right. Leftist law professors be damned.
And I hope every time liberals bring their pet legal perversions before the Supreme Court in the future, that Justice Kavanaugh’s “judicial temperament” will be appropriately informed by every outrage to which they subjected he and his family.
Idiots!!!!!!!!!!
I wonder how it feels to be one of 650 lawyers that now have a dead career when it comes to Federal cases. You may see after the smoke clears on this one that there will be no Lib left standing. I hope the Trump Adminstration files charges against each and everyone involved up to and including Soros and Senator Difi.
That is the only way to prevent future Lib attacks. Make the price so high that in the future Libs run away from such actions!
Libtards. They are everywhere. Just because you have a J.D. degree doesn’t guarantee you are conservative. You still could very well be one of those who tries to legislate from the bench, in violation of the Constitution. So I am not surprised by this, especially with what libtard nonsense we’ve recently heard about here concerning dear old Harvard.
Impartiality?! Sotomayer?! Get bent you insipid twits.
Some interesting names on that list. Andrei Vyshinsky, Hans Frank, Manfred Roeder,...
Wanna bet they’re all liberal?
May all 650 signatures keep THEM from any judicial appointments.
And may they enjoy trying to defend themselves from baseless accusations firsthand. And remember.
And all of the signatories should be fired IMMEDIATELY and prohibited from ever holding another teaching position.
The more they do this the more likable he is...
All these asswipes combined have nothing compared to the great Brett
