(Worthy News) – A panel of federal judges has dismissed more than 80 ethics complaints against Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, because lower courts can’t investigate a high court jurist.
The ethics complaints accuse Kavanaugh of lying in 2004 and 2006 during confirmation hearings to the Washington, D.C., Circuit Court.
The majority of the complaints say he misled the Senate about activities while serving in the administration of President George W. Bush. Under Bush, he was White House staff secretary between 2003 and 2006. He was also part of Bush’s legal team that challenged the vote recount in Florida following the contested 2000 presidential election. [ Source: UPI (Read More…) ]
