Major Catholic magazine rescinds endorsement of Kavanaugh over sexual assault allegations

quote [ Brett Kavanaugh cites his Jesuit education to defend his integrity. Now a Jesuit magazine (America Magazine: Lilmookie's note) has disavowed his nomination. ]

. β€œFor the good of the country and the future credibility of the Supreme Court in a world that is finally learning to take reports of harassment, assault and abuse seriously,” the editors concluded, β€œit is time to find a nominee whose confirmation will not repudiate that lesson.”

The American Bar Association has withdrawn their endorsement, the dean of Yale law has called for an investigation, Kavanaugh's law professor who testified on his behalf has withdrawn his endorsement, the governor and lieutenant governor of Alaska have come out against him (along with the Republican governors of four other states), and the ACLU has weighed in against him (which, believe it or not, they generally make a point of not doing). If he is confirmed, it will be over a level of objection I don't think any nominee has ever faced before. Not that the GOP will care, because it isn't a Grand Old Party unless there's some gang rape.
