Kavanaugh 'must be impeached,' top Dems say, as new uncorroborated allegation surfaces
Fox News ^ | September 15, 2019 | Gregg Re

Posted on 09/15/2019 11:48:13 AM PDT by jazusamo

Top 2020 Democratic contenders Kamala Harris and Julian Castro announced on Sunday that Supreme Court Associate Justice Brett Kavanaugh "must be impeached," after a new, uncorroborated and disputed allegation of sexual misconduct against Kavanaugh surfaced in a New York Times piece.

~snip~

Nevertheless, Democrats announced a new effort to topple Kavanaugh. Impeaching Kavanaugh would require a majority vote in the Democratic-controlled House, and a highly unlikely two-thirds vote in the GOP-majority Senate would then be needed to remove him from the bench.

"I sat through those hearings," Harris wrote on Twitter. "Brett Kavanaugh lied to the U.S. Senate and most importantly to the American people. He was put on the Court through a sham process and his place on the Court is an insult to the pursuit of truth and justice. He must be impeached."

During the hearings, Harris strongly implied that she knew Kavanaugh had improperly discussed Special Counsel Robert Mueller's then-ongoing probe with a Trump-connected lawyer.

Harris provided no evidence for the bombshell insinuation, which went viral on social media and sent the hearing room into stunned silence, even as she directly accused Kavanaugh of lying under oath.

Castro echoed that sentiment and said Kavanaugh had committed perjury.

"It’s more clear than ever that Brett Kavanaugh lied under oath," Castro wrote. "He should be impeached. And Congress should review the failure of the Department of Justice to properly investigate the matter."

I wish President Trump would let these people know through back channels that if the false charges against Justice Kavanaugh don’t immediately end, he’ll order the DOJ to file perjury charges against Blasey-Ford. You know that when the heat goes up, she’ll start singing about who suborned her perjury. Listening now, Senator Harris?

Lots of stuff going on here

They may do a run at impeachment but the big thing here is that they are trying to intimidate potential nominees with having their lives destroyed and even be the target of physical violence from crazed Antifa types if they accept a a Supreme Court nomination

Will backfire because only the youngest,cleanest and most highly motivated and fearless judges will be willing to pick up the baton

Somebody should put out the word, that in life, there are no do-overs. The moving pen having written, moves on.

There can be smears, and even attempted erasures, but both are ugly and the obvious attempt to obliterate the record is there for any discerning eye to see.

Obliteration of history ranks right there with the other crimes of history like genocide and international treachery.

There is some twitter traffic speculating that RBG is the reason behind it, and/or the IG report is really bad for them.

They are about to lose what’s left of their minds, because ONE MORE constitutional justice, and the Court will finally be turned. I picture denizens of hell, writhing and gnashing their teeth.

Doesn’t Impeachment require ‘High Crimes and/or Misdemeanors’ while in office?

Didn’t know but looked it up.

excerpt:

“At the federal level, this is at the discretion of the House of Representatives. Most impeachments have concerned alleged crimes committed while in office, though there have been a few cases in which officials have been impeached and subsequently convicted for crimes committed prior to taking office.”

Kavanaugh has a lifetime gig. He can afford to ignore these pesky insects of the Rat Party.

Living well is the best revenge!
