American Bar Association Gives Kavanaugh Unanimous ‘Well-Qualified' Rating
 [NR] The American Bar Association on Friday awarded Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh its highest rating, giving the judge a unanimous "well-qualified" score."The rating of ’Well Qualified’ is reserved for those found to merit the Committee’s strongest affirmative endorsement," the ABA states in its description of the ranking process. Kavanaugh, President Trump’s pick to replace retiring justice Anthony Kennedy, will launch into what is expected to be a contentious four-day confirmation process before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Tuesday. Senate Democrats have threatened to tank his nomination, and have requested millions of pages of documents from his tenure as staff secretary to President George W. Bush. Of particular concern to his Democratic critics are his apparent view that a sitting president cannot be indicted and his views on health care and abortion. Abortion-rights advocates are worried the D.C. Circuit Court judge would vote to overturn the landmark abortion case Roe v. Wade if it were relitigated. Posted by: Besoeker 2018-09-01 |
