The Republican National Lawyers Association (RNLA) believes that elections should be open, fair, and honest:

Today, Brett Kavanaugh was confirmed by the U.S. Senate to fill the U.S. Supreme Court seat left vacant after Justice Anthony Kennedy retired this summer. Prior to his confirmation as an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court, Judge Kavanaugh served for twelve years on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. The Republican National Lawyers Association (RNLA) supported Judge Kavanaugh during the confirmation process and congratulates him on his confirmation to the Supreme Court.

RNLA leaders extended their congratulations, praised Judge Kavanaugh, and expressed their gratitude for the leadership of Senate Republicans during a contentious confirmation process.

Today, after the Senate voted to invoke cloture on the nomination of Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court, the RNLA sent a letter to Senate leaders from its leaders, members, and friends in support of confirming Judge Kavanaugh:

As members and friends of the Republican National Lawyers Association (RNLA), we urge the Senate to confirm Judge Brett Kavanaugh as the next Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court.

A group of RNLA women leaders signed a letter in support of Judge Brett Kavanaugh's confirmation to the Supreme Court of the United States. The letter was addressed to Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and copies were sent to all Republican Senators. You can read the letter in its entirety here:

RNLA Co-Chair Joanne Young and RNLA Vice President for Communications Harmeet Dhillon issued the following statements today on the nomination of Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court and the allegations made against him by Dr. Christine Blasey Ford.

RNLA Vice President for Communications Harmeet Dhillon stated:

Today’s reports of how the Democratic Party has unfairly treated and ignored Rep. Keith Ellison’s accuser show yet again how Democrat leaders play politics with allegations by women and have no interest in the truth on sexual assault. They continue to support Rep. Ellison, Deputy Chair of the DNC, despite mounting evidence against him of recent abuse, yet they do not even want to let Judge Kavanaugh’s accuser testify, publicly or privately, about her decades-old allegations.

While Republicans have offered to protect Dr. Ford in a variety of ways, including allowing her to testify privately in California, Democrats have allegedly “smeared” and “threatened” Rep. Ellison’s accuser. Accusations about mistreatment of women should never be partisan events, but that is how today’s Democrats are treating these women’s allegations, without regard to who is harmed in the reckless quest for advantage at the polls.

RNLA Co-Chair Joanne Young agreed:

Republicans, led by Chairman Grassley, have been fair to all parties involved and treated Dr. Ford with the utmost respect by taking her claims seriously. Senator Feinstein ignored Dr. Ford’s allegations for months, only acknowledging them when it was politically expedient.

If Senate Democrats and Dr. Ford’s attorneys continue to resist having Dr. Ford share her story in whatever method she finds most comfortable for her, the Senate Judiciary Committee and the entire Senate should move forward to vote on Judge Kavanaugh’s nomination.
