The Senate narrowly approved Brett Kavanaugh’s appointment to the Supreme Court on Saturday on a 50-48 vote, but serious questions remain about allegations against him of sexual misconduct and lying under oath. These might lead to his impeachment if Democrats win control of one or both chambers of Congress in the midterm elections.
At this point, any impeachment effort against Kavanaugh would be premature – and couldn’t realistically begin as long as Democrats are in the minority in the House.
Instead, a real, in-depth FBI investigation of allegations against Kavanaugh is needed. This investigation should not have a time limit and FBI agents should interview far more witnesses than they did in their quickie 5-day mini-investigation that concluded Wednesday. If Democrats win majority control of the House they could authorize such a new investigation.
The impeachment process for Supreme Court justices is spelled out in the Constitution and it works just about like the impeachment process for the presidents. First, House members would consider articles of impeachment on charges of “treason, bribery or other high crimes and misdemeanors.” Those last two terms are only vaguely defined, essentially giving House members the power to determine what they cover.
If a majority of House members vote to impeach Justice Kavanaugh he would have to stand trial in the Senate. But he could only removed from office if convicted by a two-thirds majority vote – meaning 67 of the 100 senators....

Yeah, Kavanaugh might be up for impeachment if monkeys fly out of my butt.
But won’t the Republican controlled Senate have a say in matters?
The cry of the defeated. We are becoming numb to its tenor.
Keep it up, youngsters!
All the more reason to vote straight Republican next month.
What bosh.
Call the WAAAAAmbulance
Well, guess we'll have watch the RATS get disappointed. Again!
Ifs and butts; mostly butts. There is no good reason to report this bovine scat other than to energize one base or the other. Or maybe someone just couldn’t think of anything else to write, and didn’t want to just sit there blubbing her own lips with her fingers?
a good gotv article
Yep. There are no serious questions about the good judge.
Even were it to happen K has demonstrated he can handle it. The Senate conviction won’t happen unless the Republicans lose enough seats that the squish senators line up with the Democrats for the 67 votes. It looks ever less likely that it will happen that way and more likely that the Senate will be more Republican after the vote.
This guy assumes the Democrats get a Senate supermajority because the country hates Trump.
Oh yeah...they will try and Impeach him for throwing ice in a bar! Good Luck Losers!
Amen!
Is that REAL?!
For what that hasn’t been proven? More threats and BS to scare voters.
