Time will tell whether Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh will be confirmed after Thursday’s hearing which focuses on sexual assault allegations against him. Christine Blasey Ford described to the Senate Judiciary Committee how he allegedly assaulted her at a gathering in the early 1980s. Thursday afternoon, Kavanaugh will have a chance to tell his side of the story, and it will be up to the Committee members to vote on whether to move forward with his confirmation. That being said, even if Kavanaugh is confirmed to the Supreme Court, he may not be totally out of the woods.

Like a president or any other federal official, a Supreme Court justice can be impeached under the Constitution. As it says in Article II, Section 4:

and every democrat might now face an endless raft of criminal accusations and have to be assumed guilty and be drummed out of their positions.

I believe the forth person in line after House Speaker is either Maxine Waters, Hillary Clinton or the homeless guy sleeping on the sidewalk in Tampa...😋

Truthfully, the next one after Speaker is Orrin Hatch, the President Pro Tempore of the Senate...then the cabinet...

learn to read my friend. It is really important. Here is the exact language:

If the Congress, within twenty-one days after receipt of the latter written declaration, or, if Congress is not in session, within twenty-one days after Congress is required to assemble, determines by two-thirds vote of both Houses that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall continue to discharge the same as Acting President; otherwise, the President shall resume the powers and duties of his office.
-US CONSTITUTION, 25th Amendment, Secion 4

Two thirds is two-thirds, not a "simple majority."

I appreciate your constitutional scholarship. We thank you. Most folks, me included, don't usually read past section 2.

IF they win the House I'm sure they will impeach Kav and Trump. But conviction and removal won't happen.
