Re “Brett Kavanaugh Fit In. She Did Not,” by Robin Pogrebin and Kate Kelly (Sunday Review, Sept. 15):

Are you kidding me? The F.B.I. did not pursue the allegations by Deborah Ramirez of sexual misconduct by Brett Kavanaugh? There were more than 25 witnesses who may have been able to corroborate the story, and yet none were questioned ! The Republican majority on the Judiciary Committee had put strict limits on the investigation of Mr. Kavanaugh.

And for doing this incredibly poor job, the Justice Department will now be giving one of its most prestigious awards, the Attorney General’s Award for Distinguished Service , to the lawyers involved in the Kavanaugh nomination! Have we all fallen down the rabbit hole?

This is the brave new world that glorifies bad behavior. Brett Kavanaugh sits as a justice on the highest court in this land, and the allegations against him have been ignored and buried. How have we gotten to this point? But more important, what can we do to rectify it?

To the Editor:

I am so disappointed and discouraged by your recent story (and subsequent “revision”) about Justice Brett Kavanaugh, in which you slandered him with a half-baked allegation of sexual misconduct that allegedly occurred during a dorm party more than three decades ago.
