Kavanaugh is an alumnus of Yale College and Yale Law School. I have always been proud not only of my Yale Law School education, but also of the enduring legal and ethical values I learned as part of my training. I commend and thank the Yale Law School faculty, who have demonstrated those values by calling for the Senate to conduct a thorough investigation into the allegations against Judge Brett Kavanaugh. Otherwise, womenlike Dr. Christine Blasey Ford and Deborah Ramirezwill get the message from the Senate that, in the future, no matter how serious the allegations or what is at stake for the country, the risk of stepping forward will be dismissed by the Senate, with only the women paying a price. Judge Kavanaugh also has much to lose if he is confirmed with an uninvestigated cloud hanging over his nomination. There is too much at stake with a lifetime appointment to the nation's highest court for this process to be rushed or appear at all compromised by the failure to thoroughly investigate these serious allegations. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
