Chief Justice Finally Orders Investigation Into Kavanaugh Misconduct Complaints
Read Time:1 Minute, 32 Second
Bret Baier, Fox News chief political anchor, said on Wednesday that U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts has referred allegations of judicial misconduct claims against Justice Brett Kavanaugh to outside judges for investigation. Now, this is Fox News, not MSNBC, reporting this. Let it sink in.
Judge Karen LeCraft Henderson, a George H.W. Bush nominee, forwarded more than a dozen misconduct complaints to the chief justice after determining they were substantive enough to demand an investigation by judges outside the DC Circuit Court of Appeals, where Kavanaugh was serving as a judge.
As reported by The Washington Post, legal experts and several people familiar with the matter said:
“The situation is highly unusual. Never before has a Supreme Court nominee been poised to join the court while a fellow judge recommends that a series of misconduct claims against that nominee warrant review.”
Chief Justice Roberts had apparently been sitting on the complaints for weeks, refusing action before Kavanaugh was confirmed and sworn into the Supreme Court on Saturday. Clearly, he didn’t want the Senate, or the American people to know the real Brett Kavanaugh ahead of the vote. Roberts, is, after all, a Republican before he’s a patriot.
Baier reported Wednesday:
“Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts is asking federal judges outside the beltway to investigate complaints over statements made by now-Justice Brett Kavanaugh during his contentious nomination. Roberts says he received the ethics complaints beginning September 20th, but did not act on referrals until today,”

One of the results of the 40 plus year campaign to describe the MSM as “liberal” is that they are not liberal. Even if reading the papers makes the situation seem bad – it’s really much worse.
I don’t know why this isn’t on the MSM. You’d think this would be big news.
