[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Liberal Yale professor endorses Kavanaugh unreservedly

[i]After writing a controversial op-ed titled “A Liberal’s Case for Brett Kavanaugh,” Yale Law School professor Akhil Amar said Tuesday he will speak in favor of the U.S. Supreme Court nominee before the Senate Judiciary Committee if asked to do so.

“The nomination of Judge Brett Kavanaugh to be the next Supreme Court justice is President Trump’s finest hour, his classiest move,” Amar wrote for The New York Times in an op-ed posted online Monday night shortly after Trump revealed Kavanaugh’s nomination in a ceremony in the East Room.

Amar called Kavanaugh a “superb nominee” who deserved “ninetysomething” Senate votes because of his strong credentials and the fact that “he reads and learns” a wide range of views. Kavanaugh “commands wide and deep respect among scholars, lawyers and jurists,” Amar added.

“I have followed his career with care,” Amar told The National Law Journal, adding that “it’s my job” to share the information and expertise he has about Kavanaugh, a onetime student of his at Yale. “Let my fellow citizens decide.” Amar is a prolific liberal scholar of the Constitution.

I am a liberal Democrat and I'm am not necessarily opposed to his actual confirmation, though I do have some issues with some of his positions and the way his nomination came about. Frankly I don't care if every single liberal judge, justice, law professor, legal scholar, attorney in the country signed a petition saying he's the greatest legal mind since the Founding Fathers -- above all I expect the Senate to follow normal order when holding hearings and confirmation processes about someone who will sit there for another 45 years. Period.

Not sure why people on this thread don't get that.[/quote]
