Alaska attorney group against Kavanaugh

Hundreds of female attorneys urged on Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alask) and Sen. Dan Sullivan (R-Alaska) to vote against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.

More than 350 attorneys made the request in a joint letter sent to the Republican senators, according to the Daily News-Miner.

"We are Alaskan women attorneys who work in a variety of settings, including public interest organizations, government agencies, and private practice," the letter states, the newspaper reported. "Among us are Republicans, Democrats, Nonpartisan and Undeclared voters. We ask you, as your constituents and as fellow lawyers, to vote against confirmation of Judge Brett Kavanaugh as Justice of the United States Supreme Court."

[...]

"Judge Kavanaugh's conduct during his confirmation hearing fell far short of our standards as citizens and as lawyers," the attorneys add. "He displayed uncontrolled anger, sarcasm, and open contempt of Senators –– particularly female Senators –– and he made numerous unapologetically partisan statements."

Which is why every Senator in the building should vote no. But they won't.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
