Letter.

Letter Published in The National UAE on 8Oct 18 Kavanaugh’s place on the Supreme Court is tarnished   I refer to your article US Senate votes to confirm Kavanaugh to to Supreme court (October 7). This is yet another highly dramatic development to emerge in modern American politics. Following the horrific allegations levelled at Supreme Court nominee and now Justice Brett Kavanaugh by three different women, and the anger directed towards him by Democrats and members of the public, the Senate narrowly confirmed his nomination.This is certainly a major victory for the controversial US President, Donald Trump. In many ways it demonstrates how powerful he still is in American politics, as well as the desire of Republicans to have a conservative majority in the highest court in the land. But with many people still refusing to believe his denials, Mr Kavanaugh’s place in the court is somewhat tarnished.K Ragavan, Bengaluru
