President Trump’s Supreme Court nominee will not be returning to Harvard this winter to teach his law school course.
The Ivy League school sent an email to students Monday, saying Brett Kavanaugh indicated he cannot commit to teaching his class titled “The Supreme Court Since 2005.”
This comes shortly after Kavanaugh expressed worry this would be the outcome during his opening statement before the Senate Judiciary Committee last week.
“In a letter to this committee my former students, male and female alike, wrote that I displayed a character that impressed us all. I love teaching law, but thanks to what some of you on this side of the committee have unleashed I may never be able to teach again.” — Brett Kavanaugh
As of January, Harvard Law School will no longer offer the course, which Kavanaugh taught since 2008.
We need to start paying women to allege rape by all the Harvard undergrads.
Let them reap the rewards of guilt by accusation.
He’ll be busy on The SCOTUS, if Flake, Murkowski and Collins have even a small brain to understand what has happened here and the importance of their yes vote to confirm.
More family time.
Would his seat on the SC have prevented such a teaching position anyway???
Women are now the real predators.
While I completely understand why he did it, I’m not sure he should have done this. Its clear that his students liked and respected him prior to this mess. The more political ones will avoid him or protest him. But I suspect that many would not. University students aren’t all lunatics. Many would jump at the chance to be taught by someone like him.
I hope he or someone brings lawsuits against the false accusers. They, and the democratic leadership, should pay for what they have done to a good man. This is unacceptable.
It’s a good sign, maybe. Once on the Supreme Court, he’ll not have the time, at least for a while, to do much teaching. I’m just guessing. I have no real idea. My memory says other supremes have had outside engagements, but I don’t know if they were regular, continuing, and contractual.
Not sure, but it didn't seem like he was planning on withdrawing prior to the hearings. Any other justices currently teach?
I think Kavanaugh is finding ways to tell them: "I'm not going anywhere. I am not a quitter."
This makes it awkward for Democrats running for re-election.
You know there will be. The #MeToo crowd is on the cusp of exploding with unsubstantiated allegations.
The mobs would disrupt the whole college.
Although I’m not a lawyer, I would think Mrs. Kavanaugh has standing to bring a slander/defamation suit on behalf of her 10-yr-old daughter against that disgusting “cartoonist” who drew the one of her praying about her dad being a sexual predator. Sue the cartoonist and anyone who published that garbage. I doubt that freedom of the press extends to slandering 10-yr-olds.
I completely understand. Being a SUPREME COURT JUSTICE wouldn’t allow the time to commit to the students.
I think THAT is a GREAT IDEA...sheesh...bringing kids into the political frey is so very low.
They understand perfectly what they have done. Let’s pray their voters respond accordingly.
I don't see why. He's currently serving on the DC District Court of Appeals. I don't know their calendar but SCOTUS is only in session from Oct to June...wish I could find a gig like that.
Tempting though it may be, there are still those of us who try to honor the 9th Commandment, at least more so than the RATs honor the Second Amendment.
But when there is real dirt to be dug up, DIG IT!
