“Judges, therefore, should be always men of learning and experience in the laws, of exemplary morals, great patience, calmness, coolness, and attention. Their minds should not be distracted with jarring interests; they should not be dependent upon any man, or body of men.” – John Adams (1776)

Contrast this with the following recent statement in opposition to the nomination of Judge Brett Kavanaugh:

“Why [are these protests] happening for the first time in the history of this committee? … You are the nominee of President Donald John Trump.” – Dick Durbin (D – IL)

The American Bar Association is by and large left leaning.  What rating does it render Judge Kavanaugh?

7/10/18  Kavanaugh, Brett M.   Associate Justice of the Supreme Court   WQ*

* Well Qualified (the highest ranking possible)

I could not get the ABA’s pdf link to work on this page. but, it’s under:
