Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg lamented the Supreme Court confirmation process for Judge Brett Kavanaugh, saying last week she wishes she could “wave a magic wand” and have the process “go back to the way it was.”
Speaking at the George Washington University Law School on Sept. 12, Ginsburg called the hearings a “highly partisan show” and “wrong.” She noted the vote on her confirmation was 96 to 3, despite her spending “about 10 years of my life litigating cases under the auspices of the ACLU.”
Ginsburg’s remarks came prior to Christine Blasey Ford’s allegation that Kavanaugh assaulted her at a party in the 1980s when they were both teenagers in high school. Watch the video to hear her remarks.
