The president of the University of Colorado’s Student Bar Association led an effort among law student leaders to urge the Senate to delay its vote on embattled Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh until the FBI can conduct a thorough inquiry into the allegations against him.
Nicholas Monck, a third-year law student and president of CU’s Student Bar Association, drafted a letter early Friday morning, collected the signatures of 27 of his counterparts at other universities around the country, and submitted the letter ahead of the Senate Judiciary Committee’s vote Friday afternoon to move Kavanaugh’s nomination to the Senate for a vote.
Monck continued to collect signatures over the weekend and submitted an updated letter Tuesday with 44 signatures of Student Bar Association presidents from universities around the country, including in Alabama, California, Florida, Hawaii, Kentucky, Maryland, New York, Washington, D.C., and Vermont.
Monck submitted the letter to the offices of senators Mitch McConnell and Chuck Schumer.
“We, the undersigned, stand with the American Bar Association and fully support its call for the United States Senate to delay voting on Judge Kavanaugh’s nomination to the United States Supreme Court,” the letter reads, in part. “Regardless of our political views, we find the allegations made by multiple women about Judge Kavanaugh to be deeply troubling.”
