inevitable. For Public Policy junior Katie Kelly, who serves as the communications director of the University of Michigan’s chapter of College Democrats, the decisions of Collins, Flake and Manchin to vote “yes” ignited feelings of anger and frustration. “It’s really, really frustrating because no matter how many times you call these Senators or how often you protest or stand up it seems like our cries fall on deaf ears,” Kelly said. “It made me hopeful when I heard Jeff Flake come out during the hearings calling for an FBI investigation because it seemed as though maybe it wasn’t going to be a completely partisan issue, that maybe there was a chance some people would see common sense on this … and then he just came right back and completely voted along party lines and really disappointed those who became hopeful during the FBI investigation … After Susan Collins came out and said she was voting yes that was really one of the final nails in the coffin for me.” LSA sophomore Dylan Berger, president of the University’s chapter of College Republicans, argued support for swing state senators, particularly Collin and Manchin, who voted in favor of Kavanaugh. “I think both Senators were wise to vote to confirm Kavanaugh,” Berger wrote in an email. “I thought Senator Collins gave a speech on the Senate floor for the ages. She represented the institution of the Senate well by making a decision based on the facts, not mob hysteria. Americans of future generations will thank her for preserving due process in the face of angry mobs of protestors.” Leading up to Kavanaugh’s confirmation, the University community held several protests following the allegations of sexual assault by Christine Blasey Ford, a professor at Palo Alto University who in September publicly shared details regarding Kavanaugh’s alleged attempt of sexual assault when the two were in high school. Ford is one of three women to publicly accuse Kavanaugh of assault or misconduct. In a confidential letter Ford sent months ago to Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., but publicly released in September by Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, Ford writes about the high school incident. She states Kavanaugh pushed her into a bedroom while at a gathering in a Maryland home, got on top of her, attempted to remove her clothing and put his hand over her mouth when she tried to yell for help. In response to these developments in the Kavanaugh hearings, the Law School held a panel during the final week of September with Law professors Kate Andrias, Barbara McQuade and Margo Schlanger on the campus implications of the sexual assault allegations against Kavanaugh. Following the panel, the Law School community organized a rally titled “Respect Women, Respect Survivors and Respect the Court.” Last week, another rally to protest Kavanaugh BEYOND BORDE R S If students shouting about voter registration on the Diag aren’t convincing enough, the Michigan Secretary of State office has devised a new way to assist with student registration. On Monday, the Michigan Secretary of State will host a mobile voter registration unit at the Michigan League circle drive. The mobile unit will mainly serve voter registration but is still open to other Secretary of State services. The Secretary of State office asks those registering to vote to bring a driver’s license or Michigan state identification. The deadline to register to vote is Tuesday at 5 p.m. The mobile unit is part of the University of Michigan’s efforts to win the Big 10 Voting Challenge. The challenge encourages Big 10 schools to get as many students to register and vote after historically low voter turnout among young adults. The Big 10 Voting Challenge will have two awards: one for the institution that yields the highest percentage of registered voters and one for best overall voter improvement. The University is also partnered with Turbovote, an online tool that helps U-M students, faculty and staff register to vote.
