Brett Kavanaugh cleared of 'serious' misconduct allegations because Supreme Court justices can't be investigated
Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh on Tuesday was cleared of the serious misconduct allegations against him after a panel of judges dismissed the complaints. The judges said that the complaints were dismissed because they were filed under a federal law which does not apply to Supreme Court justices in the country. Multiple ethics experts had predicted the same outcome of the complaints filed against him after Kavanaugh took his seat at the Supreme Court. The complaints, which were originally filed with Kavanaugh's old court, the US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, concerns the statement made by the SC justice during his confirmation hearings.
Reports state that Chief Justice John Roberts did not take any action concerning the complaints while Kavanaugh's nomination was pending then subsequently transferred them to federal judges in Colorado and neighboring states.
