The Evangelicals are still all in on Kavanaugh. But, today the National Coalition of Churches (NCC), the nation's largest with over 40 denominations, called for the withdrawal of Judge Kavanaugh's nomination to the Supreme Court.
The NCC statement cited a number of reasons for the demand, including Kavanaugh’s behavior during his recent testimony in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee.
“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 NCC letter noted that Kavanaugh testified to “several misstatements and some outright falsehoods.”
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.”
