More than two dozen progressive groups are asking House Democrats to investigate Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh s confirmation process.
Senate Republicans made a mockery of their constitutional responsibility to provide advice and consent on the presidents nomination of Justice Kavanaugh, and the American people deserve to know how and why the process was such a sham, the groups wrote in a letter to the House Judiciary and Oversight committees.
The public is just as entitled to a thorough review of Justice Kavanaughs record now as it was before he was elevated to the Supreme Court and to know whether allegations against him of sexual assault and perjury have any factual basis, they added.
Kavanaugh nomination came under renewed scrutiny after he was accused of sexual assault from when he was a high school student, as well as sexual misconduct from his time in college. He has denied all allegations against him.
Progressive groups argue that the Senate confirmation process was tainted.
An FBI investigation cleared Kavanaugh of any wrongdoing connected to the sexual assault claims. Republicans seized on the conclusions as evidence that Kavanaugh should be confirmed, while Democrats noted the FBI failed to interview key witnesses, including Kavanaugh and Christine Blasey Ford, one of his accusers who also testified in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee.
The Republican majority in the Senate initially resisted opening any sort of investigation into the allegations, but eventually relented to calls for an additional hearing and a supplemental FBI background check," the groups wrote in their letter to the House panels. "However, the hearing raised more questions than it answered, and the supplemental FBI investigation was so limited as to be virtually meaningless.
The letter was first reported by BuzzFeed News.
The letter calls on the House committees to review documents from Kavanaughs time in the White House. Senate Republicans released those files after a vetting process run by an outside lawyer, but Democrats said the process was bungled and delayed.
The groups also asked for a review of Kavanaugh's personal financial debts that the White House attributed to purchasing baseball tickets and home improvements.
Just wait until RBG takes the dirt nap. You ain’t seen nothin’ yet.
They keep looking towards the past. They don’t see the TRUMP FRIGHT TRAIN coming down the track.
The House cannot investigate the Senate.......................
Lets get Kavenaughs tax returns for the past 20 years.
Sore losers.
I know. Can’t wait. Die you little witch.!
We should investigate which of Ruth Bader Corpseburg’s interns are making most of the decisions for US Supreme Court Seat #6...
There SHOULD be a thorough investigation on the OPPOSITION groups opposed to Kavanaugh.
Let’s be frank here. If this keeps up it will eventually bring this nation to a screeching halt. Seriously.
Their getting to where if the president is seen leaving the WH to get on the chopper they will want a full investigation of where he is going and what they “really” talked about and did he collude with somebody bad. You can’t run anything with that going on.
i.e. they need to be stopped, and the way to do it is to make it cost them. Hopefully that will happen in 2020. But if it doesn’t, all I can suggest is more ammo.
So one House of Congress gets to investigate the other?
These people really are Constitutional ignoramuses.
Sure, let’s re-open the issue of who should be prosecuted for conducting multiple rape hoaxes.
Let’s find out who Monica MacLean is and what her job was.
Let’s find out more about the involvement of Hirono, Feinstein, Harris, and others, in promoting these hoaxes.
While we’re at it, let’s take a look at the key members of the media who gave these hoaxes life.
Sure, absolutely let’s have an investigation. I’m in.
Oh goody. The Dems will have another chance to show us what idiots they are. Hopefully this investigation will be broadcast live with numerous reruns.
Exactly, this shows these idiots are totally brain dead.
What’d be a hoot is if Pelosi and committee chairmen want to do it.
