Kavanaugh’s Impeachment May Have Just Become a 2020 Issue

---

At least six Democratic presidential candidates have released statements calling for the impeachment or removal of Supreme Court justice Brett Kavanaugh after new details supporting and adding to the sexual misconduct allegations against him were revealed over the weekend.

By Sunday afternoon, the removal of Justice Kavanaugh from the Supreme Court, the insufficient FBI investigation, and the GOP’s de-facto coverup had become front-of-mind for many Democratic lawmakers and others on the left. It had also become a 2020 issue when, one by one, Democratic presidential candidates began weighing in on the matter. “Confirmation is not exoneration, and these newest revelations are disturbing,” Elizabeth Warren wrote in a tweet. “Like the man who appointed him, Kavanaugh should be impeached.”

Kamala Harris tweeted the same, arguing that Kavanaugh “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.”

Julián Castro and Beto O’Rourke both tweeted that Kavanaugh lied under oath and should be impeached, and Castro called for a Congressional review of how the Justice Department handled the investigation.

Pete Buttigieg also released a statement calling for answers about the investigation, and said that “Kavanaugh should resign and if he doesn’t, the House should impeach him.”

Bernie Sanders didn’t mention impeachment in his response, commenting that Kavanaugh shouldn’t have been nominated in the first place and “likely lied” during his testimony. Sanders endorsed “any appropriate constitutional mechanism to hold [Kavanaugh] accountable.” LINK
