White House issues press release with “great hair” praise of Kavanaugh

ETA: Misread. WH posted the NYT article. Not the other way around. Still, Twitter.



Never mind that it was only one comment in a sea of student evaluations. It’s one of the several the WH highlighted.

And like flies to shite, the media picks it up.

The article is actually pretty glowing, but Twittterverse is already doing what it does.

Troll level “maximum” going into the weekend.

Yeah, I know. NYT.

Over the last decade, about 350 law students at Harvard, Yale and Georgetown expressed views on classes offered by Judge Brett M. Kavanaugh, President Trump’s Supreme Court nominee. With rare exceptions, they praised his mastery of legal materials, intellectual rigor, fair-mindedness and accessibility.

“I honestly believe I took a class that was instructed by a future Supreme Court justice,” a Georgetown student wrote in 2007.

Judge Kavanaugh’s students did not hesitate to criticize the casebook he used (“the textbook is horrible!”) or to comment on personal attributes not particularly germane to his teaching (“great hair!”). Many students complained that there was too much reading. Early on, some said he was repetitive and not well organized. There was occasional griping that a few students dominated the class discussion.

In fact, a major complaint from his students was about the textbook he used, with students saying it was “biased,” “very slanted” and “far left.” Judge Kavanaugh told them that it was the only one that covered the relevant materials.
