Dems wage war on Kavanaugh, court: New battles over legitimacy, impeachment, recusal
The Washington Times ^ | October 8, 2018 | Brooke Singman

The narrow confirmation of now-Justice Brett Kavanaugh over the weekend marked a major political victory for President Trump – and the beginning of a new battle for Democrats, who are now shifting their message to threaten possible impeachment against the newest high court justice and question the legitimacy of the Supreme Court itself.

After a grueling confirmation fight that included graphic sexual misconduct allegations which the nominee denied, Kavanaugh was confirmed Saturday on 50-48 vote. His ceremonial swearing-in will be held Monday evening.

But as he joins the court, replacing retired Justice Anthony Kennedy, prominent Democrats signal the fight over his seat and the court itself will extend well beyond next month's midterms.

"Now, they want to impeach him. ... It's an insult to the American public," Trump said Monday, still fuming over the confirmation process and predicting Republican candidates would only benefit from the controversy in the midterms.

Democrats, though, maintain the fight is energizing their core. "We will not stop marching, we will not stop fighting," DNC Chairman Tom Perez said in a statement.

Over the weekend, former Attorney General Eric Holder said the court’s legitimacy should be brought into question with the addition of Kavanaugh.

“With the confirmation of Kavanaugh and the process which led to it, (and the treatment of Merrick Garland), the legitimacy of the Supreme Court can justifiably be questioned. The Court must now prove—through its work—that it is worthy of the nation’s trust,” Holder tweeted, referring to former President Barack Obama's Supreme Court nominee whose confirmation process was blocked by Republicans in 2016.

But Harvard Law Professor Alan Dershowitz called that comment “ridiculous.”

Democrats in DC, leftists across the country and the enemedia are so unhinged they're making fools of themselves and even liberal Alan Dershowitz knows it.

If the Democrats want to up the ante, we can as well. If they impeach Kavanaugh, then when we’re in power again, we’ll impeach their entire bench.

Democrats can fold it five ways and shove it where the sun don’t shine.

Dems wage war on Kavanaugh, court: New battles over legitimacy, impeachment, recusal!" Remember this BS in November!

"The main base of the Democrats have shifted so far left that we’ll end up being Venezuela. This country would end up being Venezuela. I think a lot of Democrats are going to be voting voting Republican on Nov. 6," Trump told reporters at the White House before departing for a law enforcement event in Florida.

President Trump has drawn the line in our political sand and thrown this gauntlet down re future elections!

You are right they are making fools of themselves, but unfortunately they have a significant amount of power and influence.

These cultural Marxists must all be stopped - now. Disagreement is one thing, but sowing discord and chaos is quite another.

This election next month is another important milestone.

So sick of these psychopaths is isn’t funny.

BRILLIANT statement by the President.

I hope he hammers this line at every rally from now to election day

dems are sore losers, and do not accept the way the Constitutional process works. They should not be allowed to vote or hold office.

Time to probe sotomayor and kagan.

I am 100% sure we can link them to drinking and debauchery in their teens.

100% It is SEARED in my conviction.

Good. Please do. Be very loud and vocal about it. Make it the number one issue for the next 4 weeks. Please. Pretty please. With sugar on top.

Dems are the biggest babies. They didn’t get their way so now they want to take all the marbles and go home.

They all need a good whoopin’ with a belt like any spoiled brat.

Spare the rod... end up with a dem baby.

Are the Rats are setting up to have a state or city to defy a ruling by the SC? They are doing so by branding the highest court as illegitimate.
