More than 100 students, alumni, and faculty at Yale College have endorsed Brett Kavanaugh for the Supreme Court, lauding President Trump’s nominee as a “distinguished jurist” with “deep conviction and integrity.”

“Judge Kavanaugh is eminently qualified to serve as a Supreme Court justice,” the students, alumni, and faculty said in a letter sent Wednesday. “Judge Kavanaugh, a graduate of Yale College and Yale Law School, is one of our nation’s most distinguished jurists. In his twelve years of service on the United States Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, he has demonstrated a principled approach to interpreting the law. He has reached legal conclusions free of political partisanship. Judge Kavanaugh has devoted his professional life to upholding the rule of law and our Constitution.”
