Retired Justice Stevens: Kavanaugh should not be confirmed
By Tal Axelrod - 10/04/18 04:46 PM EDT

Former Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens on Thursday said he does not believe that President Trump's Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh should be confirmed to the high court.

Stevens told a small crowd in Boca Raton, Fla., he once believed Kavanaugh to be qualified, but his performance in Senate Judiciary hearings changed his mind, according to the Palm Beach Post.

“I’ve changed my views for reasons that have no relationship to his intellectual ability,” Stevens said, noting Kavanaugh's fiery denial of sexual misconduct accusations in a Senate Judiciary hearing last week.

“The Senators should pay attention to this,” Stevens added.

And Why should I care about his opinion?

[Stevens] once believed Kavanaugh to be qualified, but his performance in Senate Judiciary hearings changed his mind, according to the Palm Beach Post.

Gee, no mention at all of his 12 years of experience on the bench (which is 12 years more than Elena Kagan had).  You would think that someone like Stevens would take those 12 years into account as a basis for temperament instead of passing a bigoted judgment on a press account of just 5 minutes of a 31-hour Senate testimony.
