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.

The only reason they haven't gone bankrupt yet is because they receive large donations from left-wing extremist oligarchs like the former jewish Kapo, George Soros.
This is the left trying to do a Trump treatment on Kavanaugh. They believe this bogus BS will somehow delegitimize him. More moonbat posturing.
The theory being floated around at the time of the Obamacare ruling was that the legitimacy of his children’s adoption was threatened.
Roberts votes for whoever holds the strings at the time. Now president Trump commands this marionette.
Yep. This isn’t the polluted halls of Congress. We are governed by the rule of law and Judge K has nothing to worry about in an honest courtroom.
More garbage from democrats that doesn’t amount to squat.
The judge was nominated by W. Ashley was W’s secretary. Crossing fingers this is a good thing.
No. He did the right thing.
His kids are now 18 or within months of being 18. Once 18, “they” can’t hold the adoption over his head anymore.
The Colorado judge was appointed by W. Ashley Kavanaugh was W’s secretary. This could very well be the best judge to handle these charges.
How so?
An empty gesture thats going nowhere.
Judicial complaints because the man defended himself against vile allegations. These should be summarily dismissed.
fake news.
I agree saying he is gay because you didnt agree with his ruling is wrong. So what he had a male roommate after law school. Plenty of people do
Roberts remind me of a man I dated for many years. He was also a midwesterner from
Cedar Rapids, Harvard undergrad, accepted at harvard law but turned it down for univ of chicago cause his dad went there and would pay tuition. Midwesterner men are great and they are not in your face alpha males. Doesnt mean they are gay.
Hey. Maybe Roberts attended Catholic seminary for a while. Maybe the homo mafia that runs those places “indoctrinated” him and kept some “interesting” videos etc. Well? I mean we don’t know for sure.
Why would you say that?

It’s about as likely an explanation as to Roberts vote on Obamacare as anything else. Not that he’s necessarily a homosexual but someone has something big on him. Either that or he is an illiterate moron.
You have recently seen just how evil these people can be. I’m guessing they have Sessions in a similar situation.
What do the complainants want reviewed; whether Kavanaugh did or did not black out while drinking in college?
His wife may have influenced his vote. The worst thing about obamacare was the individual mandate which is gone. I am in a blue state and we had generous medicaid long before obamacare.
He went to Malta to teach a course. Sessions is locked in the basement
