Kavanaugh withdraws from teaching course on Supreme Court at Harvard Law School

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.

Next it will be coaching girls sports. That will come. He is being cut to pieces and each piece thrown to ravenous weasels.

I will forever condemn the democrat party for their action.

I see why him teaching a course would become a dangerous circus, but why announce this decision before the Senate vote?

I suspect so. He can’t commit to the class, because if he might get the appointment.

The ‘rats destroyed Judge Robert Bork and republicans said “Never Again!”

They tried it on Justice Clarence Thomas but failed.

But here we are again and the ‘rats are even dirtier and more filthy and vicious this time around as they destroy Judge Kavanaugh.

Agree not safe for him. But for harvard to treat him this way. He taught there 10 years and at kagan’s request.

“An eye for an eye.”

Be proven a false accuser, and suffer the same penalty that the person you accused would have suffered if they had been convicted.

I don't think he should have withdrawn, but I understand why. He had been teaching this class for 10 years. Shame.

I agree! At least (if confirmed) he will receive a raise of nearly $3,000/month!

Screw Harvard.

These Ivy League cesspools are as bad as the MSM and Hollyweird when it comes to Leftist indoctrination - they are in need of a major come uppance.

The least we can do is quit honoring these leftist cesspools as the Meccas of Academia. Why should a Harvard Law School education continue to be considered the gold standard of academic achievement when in fact it is an intellectual prison camp for Leftist indoctrination?

Even without this shameful character assassination, which has no doubt made it impossible for Judge Kavanaugh to proceed with business as usual - I would like to see fine teachers like him walk away from Harvard Law School and other Leftist snake pits and offer their wisdom in more deserving arenas.

Let aspiring students come to grips with the fact that the Harvard of today is not the Harvard their grandfather attended.

“Would his seat on the SC have prevented such a teaching position anyway???”

NOTHING keeps the “wise latina” from the execution of her anti-American duties in any venue she chooses....

Do Supreme Court Justices teach classes at Harvard?

He’ll be too busy turning back the Tsunami of Unconstitutional Laws passed by the Leftist SCOTUS members before him!

Secondly, do any other sitting SCOTUS members currently teach? You’d think at least FOUR of them would feel it’s their Moral Duty & Obligation to be on campus, polluting young minds.

*SPIT*

Sounds like a plan. Bad enough they want to be lawyers as it is.
