Letter: Kavanaugh disqualified himself

(AP Photo/Andrew Harnik, Pool) Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh testifies before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Capitol Hill in Washington, Thursday, Sept. 27, 2018.

Brett Kavanaugh disqualified himself for a lifetime seat on this nation’s highest court in his remarks to the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Kavanaugh baldly attacked the Democratic Party, revealing a deeply disturbing and partisan core. His characterization of the weeks preceding the hearing as an “outside left-wing” hit job and his unhinged assertion that the hearing was fueled by “revenge for the Clintons” were enough to disqualify him.

A judge must be impartial at all times. Any nominee who appears less than wholly neutral denigrates our highest court and should not be confirmed.
