Retired Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens blasted nominee Brett Kavanaugh at a private event in Florida on Thursday — saying “his performance in the hearings” should disqualify him.

“I thought [Kavanaugh] had the qualifications for the Supreme Court, should he be selected,” Stevens explained, speaking in Boca Raton.

“I’ve changed my views for reasons that have no relationship to his intellectual ability,” he said, according to The Palm Beach Post.

Stevens, 98, has reportedly praised Kavanaugh in the past for his work as a judge, specifically in the 2014 book, “Six Amendments: How and Why We Should Change the Constitution.” But everything changed after his Judiciary Committee testimony.

Like I care what this jerk’s opinion is. Especially since it is purely political in nature.

How DARE he respond angrily when falsely accused? I wonder if the good Justice felt the same way about Justice Thomas’ anger at the high-tech lynching the RATs tried on him?

This degenerate old man also stated no one has a right to have a gun on their bedroom nightstand. Really.

John Paul Stevens tried to grope me in a swimming pool changing room when I was just 8 years old. It was back in the 70's and he was wearing Bermuda shorts.

The FBI needs to investigate and see if Stevens owned any Bermuda shorts in the 70s. If so, that corroborates my story.

This is interesting. We finally saw someone stand up to the insanity and he’s being dinged for it.

I’m horrified and deeply offended. The nursing home staff should poison him.

This is the guy who thinks that the 2nd Amendment needs to be repealed. He’s no conservative.
