Recommended With An Asterisk?

October 5, 2018 By Stuart Levine

The American Bar Association’s Standing Committee on the Federal Judiciary has issued a new statement with respect to the nomination of Brett Kavanaugh to be an Associate Justice on the United States Supreme Court which provides in full as follows:

New information of a material nature regarding temperament during the September 27th hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee has prompted a reopening of the Standing Committee’s evaluation. The Committee does not expect to complete a process and re-vote prior to the scheduled Senate vote.

Our original report must be read in conjunction with the foregoing. Our original rating stands.

I haven’t the slightest idea of what this means.  Assume that the Committee later determines that Kavanaugh is unqualified.  At that point, so what?

    A long shot. By common agreement and the copious evidence from his confirmation hearing, Brett Kavanaugh is a dick, in the élite Ted Cruz league. Will Mr. Justice Kavanaugh be able to get on with his conservative colleagues, or repel them to the extent of making him a net liability to Roberts’ conservative caucus? Scalia by all accounts had an engaging personality in social interactions. The effect on the family’s Overton windows of a mad uncle muttering to himself in the corner is hard to predict.

    As is almost always the case when it comes to quarterbacks, the Browns (2-5), who had four turnovers and committed 11 penalties against the Rams, have more to consider than just McCown’s health as they get ready for the Cardinals.

    The Seahawks have been outscored 42-24 and opposing quarterbacks are completing nearly 86 percent of their passes against Seattle’s vaunted secondary in the fourth quarter.
