Two college classmates of Supreme Court Justice nominee Brett Kavanaugh who previously endorsed the judge’s confirmation withdrew their support in a letter to the Senate Judiciary Committee Tuesday due to the “nature of Judge Kavanaugh’s testimony.” In the letter, Michael Proctor and Mark Osler, who attended Yale with Kavanaugh, described Kavanaugh’s testimony in front of the Senate panel last week as “partisan, and not judicious, and inconsistent with what we expect from a Justice in the Supreme Court.” “Under the current circumstances, we fear that partisanship has injected itself into Judge Kavanaugh’s candidacy,” they wrote. The pair had signed a letter in late August supporting his confirmation to the Supreme Court and attesting to his “exemplary judicial temperament.”
