Aside from anything sexual.

With due respect, these professors remind me of the 600 psychiatrists who collectively said President Trump is insane even though not one of them had even met him.

Thank God we live in a Republic rather than a Democracy.

Probably all were trial lawyers at one time...As well as registered Democrats...

"A man hears what he wants to hear, and disregards the rest."

Exactly. My feeling is the professors, I cannot help but wonder how many have Conservative beliefs, have anti Trump leanings. Of course they will be against Kavanaugh.

The pictures of Judge Kavanaugh's daughter's basketball team coming to the hearings has so much more meaning than this list of people. These girls know the man. The people on the list only know politics.

Confirmation Bias.

Judicial temperament is one of the most important qualities of a judge. As the Congressional Research Service explains, a judge requires “a personality that is even-handed, unbiased, impartial, courteous yet firm, and dedicated to a process, not a result.” The concern for judicial temperament dates back to our founding; in Federalist 78, titled “Judges as Guardians of the Constitution,” Alexander Hamilton expressed the need for “the integrity and moderation of the judiciary.”

The letter from the Law professors is about the temperament that should be inherent in the position of a judge.

I am not a law professor--but I was appalled at Kavenaugh's performance: the blubbering, whining victim mentality, attacking the members of the senate questioning their drinking, making references to the Clinton's, and a anti-Trump democratic conspiracy. This is not the way a Supreme Court Justice comports himself--just my thoughts, totally aside from his little white lies, and his innocence or guilt of the accusations against him.

He may be a good man, judge, wh**ever; but his performance last week did not reflect that.
A Supreme Court Justice has decorum and a steadiness that cannot be c*********d--I thought.


"We are law professors who teach, research and write about the judicial institutions of this country. Many of us appear in state and federal court, and our work means that we will continue to do so, including before the United States Supreme Court. We regret that we feel compelled to write to you, our Senators, to provide our views that at the Senate hearings on Sept. 27, Judge Brett Kavanaugh displayed a lack of judicial temperament that would be disqualifying for any court, and certainly for elevation to the highest court of this land.

The question at issue was of course painful for anyone. But Judge Kavanaugh exhibited a lack of commitment to judicious inquiry. Instead of being open to the necessary search for accuracy, Judge Kavanaugh was repeatedly aggressive with questioners. Even in his prepared remarks, Judge Kavanaugh described the hearing as partisan, referring to it as “a calculated and orchestrated political hit,” rather than acknowledging the need for the Senate, faced with new information, to try to understand what had t***spired. Instead of trying to sort out with reason and care the allegations that were raised, Judge Kavanaugh responded in an intemperate, inflammatory and partial manner, as he interrupted and, at times, was discourteous to senators.

As you know, under two statutes governing bias and recusal, judges must step aside if they are at risk of being perceived as or of being unfair. As Congress has previously put it, a judge or justice “shall disqualify himself in any proceeding in which his impartiality might reasonably be questioned.” These statutes are part of a myriad of legal commitments to the impartiality of the judiciary, which is the cornerstone of the courts.

We have differing views about the other qualifications of Judge Kavanaugh. But we are united, as professors of law and scholars of judicial institutions, in believing that he did not display the impartiality and judicial temperament requisite to sit on the highest court of our land."

They are not politicians--they are Law professors. Wake up and read!

Screamin Scott Loc: Marshfield Wi, Baltimore Md, now Dallas Ga

I'd like to see what their political affiliations are.... Plus Judge Kavanaugh was not in a judicial setting at that hearing. He was being attacked by others and as anyone who is innocent, responded as expected...

forbescat

Oh, I read that alright. You don't think law (no capital needed) professors are political? You need to wake up.

Kraken Loc: Barry's Bay

NOPE didn't expect that.

Screamin Scott Loc: Marshfield Wi, Baltimore Md, now Dallas Ga

I'd like to see how you would react if someone accused you of indiscretions.... Likely just as you do on here...

Kraken Loc: Barry's Bay

I am not applying for a job here.

Can you give us at least one Court example where Judge Kavanaugh presided over where he was NOT a personality that is even-handed, was biased, was impartial, not courteous yet not firm, and not dedicated to a process, not a result.”?? Kavanaugh has been a judge for what, 12 years now? You should be able to provide at least once instance of the assertions the "authors" of the link you provided.
