King: "Only Women Should be Supreme Court Justices"



This is the latest analysis from the "Congressman Steve King Interpretation Project." - Editor

At the "Faith and Freedom" dinner Saturday evening, September 22, 2018 in Des Moines, Congressman Steve King delivered the following thoughts about the Senate hearings on Judge Brett Kavanaugh's nomination to the Supreme Court.

From the Des Moines Register:

“I’m thinking, is there any man in this room that wouldn’t be subjected to such an allegation? A false allegation?” King said. “How can you disprove something like that? Which means, if that’s the new standard, no man will ever qualify for the Supreme Court again.”

Once again, King's comments have lead to confusion and anger.  Some interpreted King as dismissing the allegations out-of-hand without investigation, excusing sexual violence, or a near-admission to his own misdeeds as a youth.

We believe these are incorrect interpretations.

Further, we believe that Congressman Steve King is saying that, since men have no control over their impulses (regardless of age), it would be far safer to appoint only women to the United States Supreme Court.
