Finally final?

THE NOMINATION and confirmation of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh was a mess. When it was all over with a vote of 5048 in the Senate, most Americans might have been glad they didn’t have to hear anything else on that topic. But wait . . . there’s more.

For weeks and months after Mr. Kavanaugh was confirmed, there were rabid Democrats who were still thirsty for blood. Their prey had escaped, and they didn’t like it. And with a new House of Representatives under their control, impeachment was considered.

You could almost hear the progressives saying, “You can nominate this man and confirm him, but we’ll tear him right out because he’s pro-life.”

Thankfully, all that impeachment talk went by the wayside, and progressives in the House found new things about their president for which to be angry. And society moved on again . . . mostly.

Well, now USA Today is reporting the Committee on Judicial Conduct and Disability of the Judicial Conference of

the United States (say that three times fast) has determined Mr. Justice Kavanaugh won’t face discipline over his Senate confirmation. Here’s more from the paper:

“‘Our committee, judicial councils, and chief circuit judges all lack statutory authority to review the merits of complaints against an individual no longer covered under the [Judicial Conduct and Disability] Act,’ the panel said. ‘As a Supreme Court justice, Justice Kavanaugh is not a judge subject to the Act.’”

In other words, he’s above the panel now in terms of authority. And should be. There’s a hierarchy to the courts, and the one Brett Michael Kavanaugh sits on reigns supreme. This also comes after 83 ethics complaints against the associate justice by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 10th Circuit were dismissed in December 2018.

So that’s it? This country is done siccing the hounds on a man who passed all the tests and convinced enough senators to approve his tenure, right? Because at some point, enough is enough. And that point was months ago after a 50-48 vote.
