In the wake of a New York Times investigation concluding that Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh lied under oath during his confirmation hearings, Senator Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) and former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Julian Castro are calling for impeachment.
Two New York Times reporters spent ten months investigating sexual misconduct allegations against Kavanaugh, looking into his claims under oath that he did not pull his pants down and thrust his penis at Deborah Ramirez during a college dormitory party.
“During the winter of her freshman year, a drunken dormitory party unsettled her deeply,” the pair of journalists wrote. “[Deborah Ramirez] and some classmates had been drinking heavily when, she says, a freshman named Brett Kavanaugh pulled down his pants and thrust his penis at her, prompting her to swat it away and inadvertently touch it. During his Senate testimony, Mr. Kavanaugh said that if the incident Ms. Ramirez described had occurred, it would have been ‘the talk of campus.’ Our reporting suggests that it was.”
As it turns out, his behavior was the talk of the campus as many students had known or heard about it.
In short, Kavanaugh lied to the Senate, which is perjury. Perjury is an impeachable offense, and that’s why Castro is calling for an investigation and Harris is outright calling for impeachment.
I sat through those hearings. 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.

Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation is a shame to the Supreme Court.
This latest allegation of assault must be investigated.https://t.co/urvfd4dguL

In addition, an eyewitness claims that he saw Kavanaugh pull his penis out of his pants and forced it into a woman’s hand at a similar party.
The FBI knew of the eyewitness account during the confirmation but did not pass it along to the Senate committee.
Of course, President Donald Trump is having a meltdown over the bombshell report.
Now the Radical Left Democrats and their Partner, the LameStream Media, are after Brett Kavanaugh again, talking loudly of their favorite word, impeachment. He is an innocent man who has been treated HORRIBLY. Such lies about him. They want to scare him into turning Liberal!

Brett Kavanaugh should start suing people for libel, or the Justice Department should come to his rescue. The lies being told about him are unbelievable. False Accusations without recrimination. When does it stop? They are trying to influence his opinions. Can’t let that happen!

What’s unbelievable is that Trump is once again trying to use the Justice Department as his attack dog to protect an alleged sexual predator from answering for his behavior and perjury. Trump offered zero evidence that the accusations are “false” and if Kavanaugh sues he knows full well that he would have to prove that the accusations are false. That’s why Kavanaugh won’t sue.
Perjury by a judicial nominee is a serious crime that should automatically disqualify said nominee from being a judge, especially a Supreme Court Justice.
UPDATE: Two more candidates have explicitly called for Kavanaugh’s impeachment. The two latest are Elizabeth Warren and Beto O’Rourke.
