Mitch McConnell does not give a shit.More than 650 law professors nationwide signed a letter urging the Senate to reject Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, citing concerns about his temperament during a Senate Judiciary Hearing last week.
The professors wrote in a letter published in The New York Times that Kavanaugh's performance during the hearing — in which he vigorously denied allegations that he sexually assaulted Christine Blasey Ford — would be disqualifying for service on any court. The letter is expected to be delivered on Thursday.
"Judge Kavanaugh exhibited a lack of commitment to judicious inquiry," the professors wrote. "Instead of being open to the necessary search for accuracy, Judge Kavanaugh was repeatedly aggressive with questioners."
[...]
Among the signatories are 20 professors from Harvard Law School, where Kavanaugh has taught in recent years. The school announced this week that Kavanaugh would not return to teach a scheduled course next semester.

"We have differing views about the other qualifications of Judge Kavanaugh," the letter states. "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."
