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.
The House of Representatives does not confirm nominees so what do these people hope to gain from this? Do they think the House can reverse the Senate?
I agree, DiFi looked like a deer caught in the headlights when she was pinned down.
And at that point i would RESPECTFULLY ask Clarence Thomas to Retire, and let him even pick his successor.
And find out what blackmail they used on Roberts, and use it to force HIM to retire...
Got to relive the defeat.
I he’s going to vote with Roberts, maybe we should agree to a mulligan.
What! If anything we should be the ones demanding investigation of the fraudulent suit on the judge
They won’t stop until we are in Civil War 2.
Each chamber sets its own rules. If the process was tainted, it's because the Senate wanted it that way.

Sure you can. Just give them a clear signal that they won't be getting answers to any of their lunatic questions;
(YAWN)
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 ...
Well, there was the time Bush was secretly flown to Paris in a two-seat SR-71...
I wish every morning that the headline reads that Ruth B. Fuzzy is indeed finally taking that dirt nap.
It won’t happen until the next Dim president. Even if they have to (continue to) trot out a body double and vote for her.
Democrats just hate winners.
These groups and their members should be fully investigated by the FBI. there must be something to find.
do the Dems now want the House to investigate the Senate?
Looks like these whackjob groups want them too, there’s probably some whackjobs in the House that would like to do it.
The House cannot investigate the Senate.......................
SPOT ON. = WHOMEVER replaces her will face a FIRESTORM by the MORON LEFT, who are willing to do ANYTHING, no matter how IMMORAL, to try to remain relevant.

They need to loose the house completely, lets make it so in 2020
