S. Supreme Court | 2018-10-06 | 2018 | 2018-10 | Democrat | House | NC | G. Butterfield | B001251 | butterfield.house.gov | legacy | WASHINGTON, DCCongressman G. K. Butterfield (NC-01)today released the following statement aftertheSenatevoted toconfirmJudge BrettKavanaughto serve as Associate Justice ontheU.S.Supreme Court: The confirmationof Judge BrettKavanaughto theSupreme Court is thedisturbingculmination of along-timeconservative legal movement and aRepublican majority sohell-bent on advancingtheir agenda that they rammed through a Supreme Court nominee amid disturbing allegations that have yet to be fully addressed or investigatedand serious questions about his judicialtemperament. Inmoving forward withaconfirmation to alifetime seat onour nation's highest court,there shouldnot beunresolved questionssurrounding a nominee'spast conductor his judicial temperament.Thesexual assaultallegations brought forward by Dr.BlaseyFord and othersagainst JudgeKavanaughand the partisan fury he displayed atlast Thursday's hearingraisevery seriousquestions aboutJudgeKavanaugh'shonesty, temperament, andability to beanimpartialjustice. I am extremely disappointed in the Senate's decision to confirm JudgeKavanaugh'sappointment to the Supreme Court.Nowmore than ever, ourcountry needs a Supreme Courtjusticewhowill rise above ideology, protectthe rights of all Americans,and preserveour system of checks and balances by stoppingpresidential abuse ofexecutive power.Unfortunately, nothing inJudgeKavanaugh'srecord or past have shown he will be such a justice. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
