After a hard-fought battle over Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh's confirmation just over a year ago, the revelation of further sexual misconduct allegations against him has prompted 13 Democrats to push for his impeachment.

“This is the reckoning, and gone are the days where we will be complicit and lackadaisical in the fact that this is an epidemic and survivors deserve healing and justice and everyone deserves due process,” Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.) told CNN in September just after introducing a resolution in mid-September calling for Kavanaugh’s impeachment.

Although the resolution’s odds of passing through Congress are long, 12 co-sponsors have signed onto the measure so far, including:

Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) and Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.)

Fellow members of the so-called “Squad” of progressive freshman congresswomen have joined Pressley in signing onto her resolution.

1. Go, squad! And other Dems with courage!

2. I'm ashamed that our Hawai'i reps have not signed on.

Tulsi nor Ed Case.

You know who would have? Mark Takai, Neil Abercrombie, Mazie Hirono, Patsy Mink, Dan Akaka, Sparky Matsunaga, Colleen Hanabusa.

Our current House members are too far right by a lot. Ugh.

I’ll work on mine but she’s never around.

Good on the 12! Imua (onward)!

3. Except in the most recent allegation

the victim denies victimhood. It's a man who's claimed she's a victim and said how she was victimized, she begged off last year and again this year, when Pogrebin interviewed her.

I mean, isn't the idea that it's her story and she gets to tell it? If so, why's nobody actually listening to her?

4. Go for it! And do something about Thomas while you're at it!

Some idiot suppressed multiple witnesses with allegations of sexual misconduct during Thomas' confirmation hearing, which allowed a RW extremeist to get a lifetime post on SCOTUS.
