A conservative academic who was selected by the Biden administration to serve on a bipartisan commission on reform of the US supreme court was an outspoken defender of Brett Kavanaugh, and previously suggested Christine Blasey Ford, who accused Kavanaugh of sexual assault, could possibly be investigated for perjury.
Adam White, a law professor at George Mason University Law School and a contributor at the Federalist Society, which has emerged as the most influential conservative body for selecting Republican judges, published several tweets about Kavanaugh’s confirmation hearing in which he denigrated the accusations of sexual assault and accused Democrats of pursuing a “character-assassination” of the judge.
White’s inclusion on the Biden administration’s commission has been met with frustration among some progressive advocates for court reform, who said it was a sign that the commission’s mission did not reflect a serious intention to increase the number of justices sitting on the high court, which is their primary goal.
