Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. on Wednesday referred more than a dozen judicial misconduct complaints filed recently against Brett M. Kavanaugh to a federal appeals court in Colorado.
The 15 complaints, related to statements Kavanaugh made during his Senate confirmation hearings, were initially filed with the federal appeals court in Washington, where Kavanaugh served for the last 12 years before his confirmation Saturday to the Supreme Court.
The allegations center on whether Kavanaugh was dishonest and lacked judicial temperament during his Senate testimony, according to people familiar with the matter.
Last month, a judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit asked Roberts to refer the complaints to another appeals court for review after determining that they should not be handled by judges who served with Kavanaugh on the D.C. appellate court.
In a letter Wednesday to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 10th Circuit, Roberts said he selected the court in Colorado to accept the transfer and to exercise the powers of a judicial council with respect to the identified complaints and any pending or new complaints relating to the same subject matter.

The Denver-based appeals court is led by Chief Judge Timothy M. Tymkovich, the former solicitor general of Colorado who was nominated to the bench by President George W. Bush. The 10th Circuit handled another recent judicial misconduct case from Washington involving the former chief judge of the District Court.
It is unclear what will come of the review by the 10th Circuit. The judiciarys rules on misconduct do not apply to Supreme Court justices, and the 10th Circuit could decide to dismiss the complaints as moot now that Kavanaugh has joined the high court.

Agreed. Never
I immediately thought the same. Bush-bots look out for Bush-bots.
Agree Roberts did the right thing. He received these in late Sept and sat on them so kept it away from confirmation process
Normally Garland would review but he recused himself.
At least he didnt send it the first day Kav was on Supreme
Snowflakes never stop melting.
Roberts is the poster boy for legislating from the bench, morphing a god-awful bad law requiring the purchase of goods and services (aka O’Care) into a “tax”.
Time to start our own impeachment lynch mob. Esp after sotomyor and co are clearly partisan judges.
Sore loser jealousy if only it were only as simple and harmless as that. This is part of the on going tragedy for the US where the losing party refuses the peaceful transition of power to the other party. It is without precedent since the election of 1860 and is headed toward a similar outcome. A car with a couple of Trump bumper stickers was torched in Vancouver, WA last night. A Bonners Ferry Armory incident may be in the offing.
I don’t think anything can be done. This is a Constitutional matter. Dems can impeach him if they have the votes to pass it from the house. Then he needs the senate to vote on it but I believe they need 67 votes..
They are just a-whistlin’ Dixie.
They most certainly have something on him...a dead girl? a live boy?...a photo with a donkey?
Leftist freaks.
I agree———they will NEVER get over losing the election——ever!!!!!
.
Roberts is comprised they have something very big on him. He totally reversed himself on Obongo care.
He’s an in the closet homo with very shady international child adoptions. Other than that he is clean as a whistle.
Hopefully he did it because he knows this will clear Kavanaugh and shut the democrats up once and for all. Actually nothing will shut them up except losing.
They most certainly have something on him...a dead girl? a live boy?...a photo with a donkey?
Roberts is a closeted homo. He had a male roommate after law school, recent annual trips to Malta with another male friend, etc.
Stop the nonsense with your gay “theories” on Roberts.
.
Why would you say that?
somehow, Roberts is most likely compromised .
the obozocare ruling needs to have been fully investigated and still should be.
Roberts is a snake along with his illegal alien children.
This never should have happened. The charges should have been dismissed.
This is saying that the Left is adopting the Sarah Palin strategy of filing nuisance ethics charges against Brett Kavanaugh.
In fact, they are going to Cloward-Piven the nuisance complaints against Kavanaugh, in an attempt to bog down the Judicial Branch with these complaints.
There is only one path forward: The Chief Justice declares that the proper place for these complaints is the House of Representatives, where they can choose to start impeachment proceedings. Therefore, all complaints sent to the Judicial Branch will be discarded as irrelevant, since they are a non-partisan branch of the Constitutional republic.
