The American Bar Association said Thursday that the Senate Judiciary Committee's plan to proceed with a Friday vote on Brett Kavanaugh "would not only have a lasting impact on the Senate's reputation, but it will also negatively affect the great trust necessary for the American people to have in the Supreme Court," CNN reports.
Why it matters: The ABA unanimously recommended Kavanuagh as the next Supreme Court justice before allegations of sexual assault surfaced. Now, it's calling for an FBI investigation to demonstrate the Senate's "commitment to a Supreme Court that is above reproach." And while this makes their push for a delay a powerful move, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has stated that the Senate will push ahead with its Friday morning vote.
