National Council of Churches calls for Kavanaugh's nomination to be withdrawn

The nation's largest group of Christian churches on Wednesday called for the withdrawal of Brett Kavanaugh's nomination for the Supreme Court.

The National Council of Churches, which represents 38 denominations in the US, wrote in a ​

statement on their website

that they believe Kavanaugh has "disqualified himself from this lifetime appointment and must step aside immediately.

The statement cited a number of reasons for their demand, including Kavanaugh's behavior during his recent testimony in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee on sexual assault allegations against him.

"Judge Kavanaugh exhibited extreme partisan bias and disrespect towards certain members of the committee and thereby demonstrated that he possesses neither the temperament nor the character essential for a member of the highest court in our nation," the statement read.​

The National Council of Churches alleged that Kavanaugh's testimony included "several misstatements and some outright falsehoods," including some related to Christine Blasey Ford's accusation that Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her at a high school party in the 1980s.

The group also pointed to what they called Kavanaugh's "troubling" judicial and political record on some civil rights issues.

"Judge Kavanaugh's extensive judicial and political record is troubling with regard to issues of voting rights, racial and gender justice, health care, the rights of people with disabilities, and environmental protections," they wrote. "This leads us to believe that he cannot be an impartial justice in cases that are sure to come before him at the Court." Trump wanted Kavanaugh's nomination to reassure that Trump himself would never be charged in any crimes.​

The people vote politicians in office so they can do things for us. It always come with a heavy price. Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Being self sufficient is the way to go. Don't depend on politicians to make our lives easy, do it ourselves. The saying, "If you want something done right, you got to do it yourself" is so right on.
