A pair of Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh's former classmates at Yale Law on Tuesday withdrew their support of him after previously endorsements.
Michael Proctor and Mark Osler wrote in a letter to Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and ranking member Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) that they can no longer support Kavanaugh's confirmation because of the "nature" of his testimonty in front of the committee last week while addressing accusations of sexual misconduct.
“In our view that testimony was partisan, and not judicious, and inconsistent with what we expect from a Justice of the Supreme Court, particularly dealing with a co-equal branch of government," they wrote.
They added that their decision to withdraw their support was not based on the allegations made by Christine Blasey Ford, who has said that Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her in high school.
Proctor and Osler were previously among 27 of Kavanaugh's classmates who in August wrote a letter to Grassley and Feinstein advocating for Kavanaugh. In that letter, they and the other signatories wrote they "firmly believe that Judge Kavanaugh would make decisions thoughtfully, honestly and impartially."
But Proctor and Osler wrote in their new letter that they “fear partisanship has injected itself into Judge Kavanaugh’s candidacy.”
Kavanaugh during his testimony Thursday accused Democrats of undermining him with "a calculated and orchestrated political hit" that was part of a revenge plot "on behalf of the Clintons."
The high court nominee has seen his confirmation process upended by allegations of sexual misconduct made by three women: Ford, Deborah Ramirez and Julie Swetnick. The FBI is currently conducting a new background investigation of Kavanaugh focusing on those accusations.
Kavanaugh was being 'partisan and not judicious' when he defended his honor.
Yeah, because Pubbies are supposed to just bend over and take it when partisan Dems attack them with blatant falsehoods.
Yep that’s what’s happening here. Because he showed human emotion at the ongoing Inquisition, now the liberals are clucking, tsk, tsk, what sort of judicial behavior is this.
In other words, they’re basically Democrats.
I don’t think these two are elected senators so who cares?
Who cares?
OK so 2 classmates down and about 1500 to go?
I give credit to Kav for his restraint. I would have bashed Feinstein’s head in with a baseball bat if she did this to me.
These Commie loons would have been fine and dandy had Kavanaugh just admitted he did it even though he didn’t..apparently DEFENDING yourself is considered a crime now..we are in a new America people..and if we don’t vote in November to stop the madness, we wont have a country anymore when the whack jobs run the asylum
Traitors
Clintons and Soros must have contacted them. And, no, I’m not kidding, and likely mentioned how difficult their life could be.
Paid off, dollars to doughnuts.
Partisanship did not inject "itself"! Of course, the partisanship was inject BY THE DEMOCRATS!!
Ginsberg said negative stuff about trump, hmm should she be impeached for being partisan???
the hypocrisy by the left is beyond nuclear levels at this point.
So his Yale friends got a for chit education. he is not acting as a judge in this matter he is acting as the accused and did very well in his testimony idiots
“A new ‘narrative’ has been created. “
Sexual assault allegations turned out to be a dud.
Drunkenness turned out to be a dud.
Let’s try his tone of voice to the holier than thou democrats.
Hysterical if it wasn’t so frightening.
Good enough for the captain obvious annals:
“But Proctor and Osler wrote in their new letter that they “fear partisanship has injected itself into Judge Kavanaugh’s candidacy.””
If I was half the man I was five years ago I would have taken a flamethrower to the place Hoo-ah.
Also, didn’t Yale Law School cancel classes one day so they could go protest him??????
If only he was a wise Latina.
But, of course, the two have no problem with the way the Dem Senators conducted themselves while interrogating BK...
