Former Yale Law School Dean Robert Post slammed Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh for stoking the fires of partisan rage and male entitlement" in an op-ed in Politico Magazine.
For as long as Kavanaugh sits on the court, he will remain a symbol of partisan anger, a haunting reminder that behind the smiling face of judicial benevolence lies the force of an urgent will to power. No one who felt the force of that anger could possibly believe that Kavanaugh might actually be a detached and impartial judge, Post wrote.
Kavanaugh will inevitably become the focus of distrust and mobilization. His very presence will undermine the courts claim to legitimacy; it will damage the nations commitment to the rule of law. It will be an American tragedy, he added.
Kavanaughs confirmation process was rocked when three women went public with allegations of sexual misconduct against him while he was in high school and college.
