Sen. Richard Blumenthal said Supreme Court justice Brett Kavanaugh is “dangerous and deeply flawed,” and that his confirmation marked the “saddest and angriest” day of Blumenthal’s time as a Senator.
“This day is the saddest & angriest of my time in the Senate. The Republicans have succeeded in confirming a dangerous and deeply flawed nominee only by breaking all the rules and norms,” Blumenthal (D-Conn.) tweeted after Kavanaugh was confirmed by a 50-48 vote on Saturday.
“The damage done today will be enduring, to the United States Supreme Court, and to our country.” In a separate tweet he added, “To survivors in Connecticut & around the nation: I know this day is especially painful for you, but please know that we stand with you.”
