Trying to impeach Kavanaugh is pointless

[Snake Plissken]

It takes 2/3 of the Senate to vote in favor of impeachment.

The effort should be put into the House carrying out a full investigation and having him indicted for committing perjury.

Think of it as Benghazi ... except this time a real crime is being investigated and a real criminal will be indicted for his crimes.

1. If it can be proven that he raped women and I think it can...

He will be forced to resign.

[Snake Plissken]

2. I'd rather see him resign while wearing an orange jumpsuit.

[Sherman A1]

5. I very much

doubt that would come to pass. I hope that you are right and I am wrong, but I suspect not.

[Demsrule86]

11. It is worth a shot.

[MadDAsHell]

13. I'm all aboard if you think you can prove an assault from 36 years ago?

What route are you suggesting and using what proof? With what’s at stake here I’d like to think Dr. Ford would have already brought that proof with her on the day she testified.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

25. he would never resign

Impeach, indict, convict, imprison.

[Sherman A1]

3. Agreed

It is unfortunate, but simply the way things are at this point. I wouldn't count on anything positive happening going forward.

[Snake Plissken]

7. If he is forced to testify under oath, he is done, it's checkmate

that is why the White House Counsel jumped in and limited the scope to the FBI's investigation

they needed to ensure the investigation left no door open than would have Kavanaugh being requested by the FBI

If he was questioned by the FBI, he had two options, either admit he perjured himself, or lie to the FBI.

[Sherman A1]

22. Did he not lie to the Senate?

Which I seem to remember being a crime. But I may be incorrect.

[Submariner]

4. Agree. Whatever it takes to make life a miserable HELL

for Rapey blackout Brett and the Russian colluding election stealing republicans needs to be high on the Democratic Party agenda.

[janterry]

6. The point is not impeachement, it's searching for truth

let the witnesses speak, find the lies

Justice follows truth, perhaps. But my search is for truth, not impeachment. Let's just find the truth.

8. Alternative

In 2021, the Democratic Senate and President expand the SCOTUS headcount and appoint 2 mid-thirties ultra-progressive women to the court.

This is justified to repair the damage done by McConnell and Putin.

[Snake Plissken]

9. If people get out and vote giving Democrats a mandate, it should absolutely be done.

without question

[DeminPennswoods]

10. There's a lot of baggage yet to be unearthed

If Dems take the House, there will be an investigation, a real one and the truth will out. I'm sure Kozinski never expected to have to resign his seat on the 9th Circuit either. I think if the investigation turns up what we all believe it will, CJ Roberts will personally tell Kavanaugh to resign.

[Snake Plissken]

12. If I had to guess Justice Roberts and everyone else on the Supreme Court are still hoping ...

he doesn't get confirmed today, he's a shit-stain on the Supreme Court. I don't see him getting much support from his peers if he is investigated and it looks like he will be indicted.

[DeminPennswoods]

14. Agree that at least a few current justices are horrified at having

Kavanaugh as a colleague. As the "junior" justice, Kavanaugh has door opening/closing duties. If I were a sitting justice, I'd be tempted to push him back out the door once everyone was in.

[Snake Plissken]

15. He just grosses me out, there is nothing about the man that I like

I'm sure a lot of Republicans feel the same way, but the main goal of Today's GOP is to troll liberals, so what better way to do that having a lowlife like Trump nominate a dirtbag like Kavanaugh.

Somehow I just don't think rest of the Supreme Court is interested in being part of their juvenile trolling.

[DeminPennswoods]

20. Even conservative judges respect the law and the court system

But Kavanaugh isn't a real judge, he's a partisan hack with a law degree. That's the difference.

[Snake Plissken]

21. I completely agree, he's just a dirtbag

[Baitball Blogger]

16. You are not thinking linearly.

We still don't know how Republican senators would vote if they had all the evidence in.

Don't let them off the hook.

[Snake Plissken]

18. Why impeach him, when you can convict him of a felony that lands him in prison?

He is not protected from prosecution like a President is

[Baitball Blogger]

19. Let all the evidence come in and we'll review the options.

No question that he energized our voter base and we will have options. Point is, we need to protect the integrity of OUR supreme court. So we have a civic duty to expose him and take the swiftest route to remove him.

[Scruffy1]

26. I don't think facts or evidence matters to many of them.

Grassley and Imfoffe come to mind, immediately.

[Justice]

17. If evidence is there, I would support impeachment trial in house

If evidence is there to show GOP acted politically to get win but ignored or suppressed truth - I would support that.

Not just on sexual violence charges, but also on the issue of his involvement and knowledge about the documents stolen from Democrats and other information that shows he lied.

While maybe you would not have 2/3 in Senate, you would be able to use it against those Senators who supported him and were involved in the coverup. Get them voted out of office.

[c-rational]

24. Agreed. Hold the impeachment hearings and air the truth. Even if he is not impeached, Kavanaugh

will go down as the only Supreme Court Justice to be impeached in our lifetime and rightfully so, and the Senators who do not vote to convict in light of truth can be voted out of office and shamed and rightfully so.

[Gothmog]

23. 67 votes is not realistic

[Mme. Defarge]

27. Exactement!

Hélas.

[IluvPitties]

28. We are screwed and stuck with Kavanope for years to come.
