Kamala Harris calls for formal impeachment proceedings against Kavanaugh
by John Gage
| September 27, 2019 02:25 PM
Sen. Kamala Harris wrote an op-ed in which she demanded the House Judiciary Committee open an impeachment hearing against Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh on the one-year anniversary of Christine Blasey Ford's testimony against him.
"We need to get to the truth about Kavanaugh. And I believe the best path to truth and accountability is through a formal impeachment process," the California Democrat said in a Friday article in Elle. "That’s why I called on the House Judiciary Committee to open an impeachment inquiry and take a serious look at whether Kavanaugh lied under oath during his testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee."
Harris, 54, had sent a letter last week to the Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler asking him to "investigate recent reports" of alleged misconduct by Kavanaugh.
The presidential candidate acknowledged the impeachment of Kavanaugh would likely "go nowhere" in the Senate, but argued that it would help to restore "faith in our justice system" and provide "meaningful accountability and transparency."
Kavanaugh, 54, came under attack from Democrats this month after two New York Times reporters, Robin Pogrebin and Kate Kelly, released an excerpt from their new book on Kavanaugh in which they mentioned a new allegation of sexual misconduct.
The authors received a torrent of criticism after the original piece failed to disclose that the alleged victim did not "recall the incident" and the witness, who had refused to talk to the paper, had faced off against Kavanaugh when he was a member of former President Bill Clinton's legal team while Kavanaugh was on the Ken Starr legal team.

...hmm...obviously Kavanaugh is in the way more than I thought.

I'd prefer bringing back the McCarthy Hearings, and investigate the Socialist ties of the likes of Harris, Warren, Sanders, and AOC.

They all have a bad case of "Impeachment Fever".

Maybe. I don't think that's the primary consideration, they just wanted to lay down the marker that they would not support any SCOTUS nominee from Trump, even if he wins in 2020, even if it was a Ginsberg clone.

I genuinely hope the Dems are so monumentally STOOOOOO-PID as to impeach both Trump and Kavanaugh. IOW, as stupid as Kammy is.

Impeachment seems to be the way that Democrats think they can still rule without winning.

they think it's consequence-free. If they win, they win, and if they lose they still win because they assume the act of impeachment will render the target unelectable. I think they are wrong about it. There is going to be blowback.

Dems have worked around the clock, to fill the political skies with barrage after barrage.
-
He needs to file for a restraining order against the senate dems. Their obsession with him is beyond creepy.

and that is all they have.
Nothing else.

Really? Essentially, this so-called former prosecutor wants to charge someone with a crime without a shred of evidence of wrongdoing - but she's sure she'll find it, somewhere down the road.
