Brett Kavanaugh, who was accused of sexual assault during his confirmation process as a Supreme Court nominee, may have made it to the country's highest court after being sworn in as the newest justice, but several complaints about his behavior during his September 27 testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee are far from settled.

Supreme Court chief justice John Roberts has referred more than a dozen ethics complaints made against Kavanaugh to the 10th circuit for review, the Associated Press reported on October 10.

The complaints, three of which Roberts received before Kavanaugh’s angry denial of allegations that he had sexually assaulted Dr. Christine Blasey Ford while they were in high school, were filed originally with Kavanaugh’s old court, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. And after Kavanaugh’s heated and combative denial, more ethics complaints about him began to file in.

On Saturday, October 6, the public learned that complaints had been filed against Kavanaugh, when D.C. circuit judge Karen Henderson acknowledged them. According to the Associated Press, most of the details are being kept private.

“The complaints do not pertain to any conduct in which Judge Kavanaugh engaged as a judge,” Henderson said. “The complaints seek investigations only of the public statements he has made as a nominee to the Supreme Court of the United States.”

Typically, Henderson would send the complaints to Merrick Garland, the chief judge of the D.C. circuit, who was nominated to the Supreme Court by Barack Obama but was blocked by Republicans during the nomination process. Garland has reportedly recused himself. Roberts then sent the complaints to the 10th circuit, whose chief judge, Timothy Tymkovich, was on President Trump’s short list of Supreme Court nominees, according to Politico.

On October 10, in a letter posted on the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals website, Roberts announced that he had asked the judges who handle ethics complaints for the 10th circuit to deal with the complaints.

In the letter, Roberts said he began transfer requests mentioning the complaints against Kavanaugh on September 20, which dealt with statements Kavanaugh made during his confirmation hearing. Roberts said he had received about a dozen more requests before sending them to the 10th district.

According to the Associated Press, there’s a chance that the complaints won’t ever be investigated. The lower-court judges could say that they don’t have jurisdiction over a Supreme Court justice at all.
