Liberal groups urge lawmakers to investigate Kavanaugh

More than two dozen liberal advocacy groups are calling for Congress to investigate Justice Brett Kavanaugh and the process surrounding his confirmation to the Supreme Court last year.

The 26 organizations sent a letter Thursday to the House Judiciary and Oversight and Government Reform committees, now with Democrats at the helm, urging them to address the “many issues” that were “unresolved” during Kavanaugh’s contentious confirmation battle.

“The public is just as entitled to a thorough review of Justice Kavanaugh’s 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,” the groups wrote in their letter. “Your committees now have the power to remedy these wrongs, and we implore you to do so.”

??  I thought the he was already investigated?  He was confirmed as a justice.  I find this despicable.

They have a point.  I'd like to know more about Feinswine's actions in releasing the confidential memo from Ford.  They should be more careful about what they ask for.

Judicial nominations are the purview of the Senate alone. What the House is then saying is that they're going to investigate the Senate.

They have no jurisdiction, and McConnell should let them know that, loudly, threatening to open up his own investigations.

Sure they do.  I think the lefties want the House to Impeach him, it's SOP nowadays.

Maybe Kavanaugh himself, but the process? Cocaine Mitch needs to tell them to buzz off.

They already pulled all the dirty tricks trying to stop the man, so they have to use a more nuanced approach to the next fishing expedition.   rrthree
