The organization’s national board of directors passed a resolution opposing Kavanaugh, citing “credible allegations” that the nominee “engaged in serious misconduct” against Christine Blasey Ford and others. “The standard for such an appointment should be high, and the burden is on the nominee,” the board’s resolution stated. Blasey testified Thursday before the Senate Judiciary Committee that Kavanaugh locked her in a room and sexually assaulted her in 1982. America Magazine, a Jesuit publication, rescinded its endorsement of Kavanaugh after Blasey’s testimony. The American Bar Association and Yale Law School, which Kavanaugh attended, had joined Democrats’ calls for the FBI investigation earlier in the week.
