Coons: If Kavanaugh Is Confirmed, ‘His Service’ on the Court ‘May Well Have an Asterisk’

‘But for us to proceed today without giving a thoughtful serious and thorough investigation of credible allegations before us is for this committee to fail to do its job’

EXCERPT:

COONS: "But I will say as I conclude there is something much greater in my mind at stake. The fact that Judge Kavanaugh is nominated to the Supreme Court means this is not just about his credibility and the remaining concerns about his credibility that I will carry forward. It’s about the court's legitimacy. We are left with the reality that if his nomination goes forward this morning after testimony full of rage and partisanship and vitriol but without even a brief pause for a nonpartisan investigation into the serious allegations presented, his service may well have an asterisk."
