Hundreds of female attorneys urged on Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alask) and Sen. Dan Sullivan (R-Alaska) to vote against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.
More than 350 attorneys made the request in a joint letter sent to the Republican senators, according to the Daily News-Miner.
"We are Alaskan women attorneys who work in a variety of settings, including public interest organizations, government agencies, and private practice," the letter states, the newspaper reported. "Among us are Republicans, Democrats, Nonpartisan and Undeclared voters. We ask you, as your constituents and as fellow lawyers, to vote against confirmation of Judge Brett Kavanaugh as Justice of the United States Supreme Court."
The newspaper reports that the letter says this call to vote "no" on Kavanaugh stemmed from concerns about sexual misconduct allegations against him and his temperament.
"Judge Kavanaugh's conduct during his confirmation hearing fell far short of our standards as citizens and as lawyers," the attorneys add. "He displayed uncontrolled anger, sarcasm, and open contempt of Senators –– particularly female Senators –– and he made numerous unapologetically partisan statements."
A spokeswoman for Murkowski told the newspaper she was unsure if the senator had received the letter yet. She added that Murkowski would respond to it directly
Sullivan did not respond to a request for comment from the News-Miner. He did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The Hill.
The letter comes about a week after Kavanaugh and Christine Blasey Ford testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee regarding Ford's claims he sexually assaulted her during a high school party in the 1980s.
Kavanaugh has fiercely denied the accusation, and multiple GOP senators have said an FBI report on its probe into Kavanaugh showed there was no corroboration for Ford' claims.
But Democratic senators have criticized how the investigation was handled.
Murkowski is considered to be a significant swing vote in Kavanaugh's confirmation. She told reporters on Thursday that she is still reviewing the FBI's findings on its investigation.
The Senate is prepared to move forward with a procedural vote on Kavanaugh's nomination on Friday.
There's less than 300,000 population in Anchorage and that's as metropolitan as they get.
lol...that’s a fantastic picture
What do you call hundreds of female attorneys in Alaska under 12 ft of snow?
A good start!
If it was a 'joint letter, then there would be a exact number.
When the MSN generalizes,then I call BS.
Provide their names so they can be shunned for business.

Liberal women are simply becoming ridiculous.
War on Men?
No due process?

Psychotic & deranged, not ridiculous.

( President Trump cancels ANWAR....( sarc.))
Why do lawyers think their opinion matters more than the rest of ours? They may know more about law, but character?
“You are a bad boy. A very bad boy.”
Yes I know. Always like to use statement with multiple means. Let the reader take it the way they want or see it.
‘Hundreds of female Alaska attorneys’ and a quarter would buy you a phone call.
(but first you’d have to find one of the fourteen remaining pay phones in the US)
Not an exact answer to your question, but it certainly does confirm your doubts.

Alaska has very few and the average income is at the minimum wage level in the lower 48.
Now the clincher.
What percentage of lawyers are female?
10% maybe?
If so, the total number of lawyers would be 3,500 plus.
“Mob Rule”= the same thing Democrats did when they would gang hang Blacks in the South. Democrats have never changed
These are all attorneys that advocate for criminals. They do not care for us who work respectable jobs.
Does she want to be the only republican to do this?
But very funny
