For Brett Kavanaugh, ehum, his hopes of becoming a Supreme Court Judge are looking thinner and thinner by the day. On Monday, protests across America took place in response to his nomination, and, those of yet more sexual assault allegations when he was in college. According to reports, Yale students (among others) staged mass sit-ins and protests refusing to go to class, and instead, focusing their day on Kavanaugh and spreading their message of #StopKavanaugh.
Democratic Senator Richard Blumenthal was also present at the reported Yale protest, where, he reiterated that America cannot allow the nomination of Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court without a formal and proper hearing. Kavanuagh, meanwhile, took to the airwaves on Fox News in an interview denying the new claims.
Denying them so swiftly, we, must have missed his actual explanation as to why they would’ve surfaced to begin with. In the interview, Kavanaugh categorically claims that the accusations (see here, and here) are nothing more than “politically charged movements” and that “they will not stop me from serving my country, and, the Supreme Court”.
‘‘The allegations of sexual misconduct against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh are rightly causing deep concern at Yale Law School and across the country,’’ Yale Law School Dean Heather Gerken said in a statement. ‘‘As dean, I cannot take a position on the nomination, but I am so proud of the work our community is doing to engage with these issues, and I stand with them in supporting the importance of fair process, the rule of law and the integrity of the legal system.’’
