Jesuit magazine urges Kavanaugh withdrawn, ABA and Yale Law School dean call for FBI probe before confirmation

American Magazine has written president Trump to withdraw Kavanaugh from consideration for the SCOTUS slot.
The American Bar Association called on the Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday evening to halt the confirmation v**e for Judge Brett M. Kavanaugh’s nomination to the Supreme Court, saying it should not move forward until an FBI investigation into the sexual assault allegations against him can be completed.
“The basic principles that underscore the Senate’s constitutional duty of advice and consent on federal judicial nominees require nothing less than a careful examination of the accusations and facts by the FBI,” ABA President Robert Carlson wrote in a letter to Chairman Charles E. Grassley (R-Iowa) and Sen. Dianne Feinstein (Calif.), the committee’s top Democrat.
The ABA letter, which is unlikely to sway Republicans, said that an appointment to the Supreme Court “is simply too important to rush to a v**e. Deciding to proceed without conducting an additional investigation would not only have a lasting impact on the Senate’s reputation, but it will also negatively affect the great trust necessary for the American people to have in the Supreme Court,” Carlson wrote in the letter, obtained by The Washington Post.
The ABA, with 400,000 members, is the legal profession’s largest organization. Kavanaugh and his supporters have bragged about its favorable rating of the nominee, with Sen. Lindsey O. Graham (R-S.C.) describing the imprimatur as the “gold standard.”
On Friday, Heather Gerken, the dean of that law school, echoed the ABA’s letter in a statement issued through the university.
“I join the American Bar Association in calling for an additional investigation into allegations made against Judge Kavanaugh,” Gerken said. “Proceeding with the confirmation process without further investigation is not in the best interest of the Court or our profession.”
Kavanaugh has also highlighted his time at Georgetown Preparatory School, which bills itself as the country’s only Jesuit boarding school. In an editorial on Thursday, America magazine, a Jesuit publication, called for Kavanaugh’s nomination to be withdrawn.
