As a former school board member, I can identify with U.S. Sen. Angus King, I-Maine, when he states the nomination of Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the U.S. Supreme Court is the most important decision he will ever make. I will remember until my dying breath the extreme difficulty I had to face when my colleagues and I had to select a new Superintendent of Schools.
A decision of this magnitude can affect many lives and for a long period of time. The consequences of an incorrect decision will potentially hurt citizens for many generations.
Once done, there are no do-overs. Sen. King totally realizes the gravity of this vote. I am confident he has done all the homework he possibly can do in reaching his decision.
His vote is non-partisan and reflects the fact that he is a very thorough and logical representative of the people of Maine. I stand with Sen. King on his no vote on Judge Kavanaugh.
