Stevens ^, a lifelong Republican who served on the Supreme Court for 35 years, said that he actually praised one of Kavanaugh's decision in his 2014 book "Six Amendments: How and Why We Should Change the Condition."

"At that time, I thought (Kavanaugh) had the qualifications for the Supreme Court should he be selected," Stevens said.

"I've changed my views for reasons that have no relationship to his intellectual ability...I feel his performance in the hearings ultimately changed my mind."  

Stevens  said Kavanaugh does not have the necessary judicious temperament and his inflammatory remarks could necessitate him being recused from many cases brought to the Supreme Court.
