Federal judicial panel dismisses misconduct charges against Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh...
Supreme Court Associate Justice Brett Kavanaugh cannot be disciplined for his behavior during last year's calamitous Senate confirmation battle, a federal judicial panel ruled Thursday.
The decision by the Committee on Judicial Conduct and Disability of the Judicial Conference of the United States agreed with a panel of federal judges that Kavanaugh's elevation to the Supreme Court put him out of their jurisdiction.
"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."
