Calls for Brett Kavanaugh to be Impeached

Post Reply New Topic

Yeah, I've even wondered, given the confirmation process was so over the top that perhaps it was a dog and pony show and maybe he'll end up not being that conservative after all and that some already know that to be the case. Time will tell.

The allegations against Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh laid out in a now-revised New York Times story were not "accidental" and were part of a broader effort by the left to "intimidate the court," Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, said Wednesday.

Speaking on "Fox & Friends," the former presidential candidate said it was "fairly hysterical" to watch the two Times reporters who wrote the essay try to avoid responsibility for omitting key information and blame their editors.

"If you did this on a high school paper, if you were a freshman in high school and you submitted this story, you'd get an F," said Cruz, doubting that any 2020 Democrats will retract their demands for Kavanaugh's impeachment.

"Because it's not about facts, it's about crazy, left-wing ideology. That's where the Times is, that's where the candidates are and sadly, the Times is now about propaganda."

It never ceases to both amaze and horrify me how often Trump Derangement Syndrome continues to make progressives overcorrect and throw basic caution to the wind. It horrifies me because the last thing I want to see is Trump reelected because of the legitimate bad things he has done and awful person he is.

As far as Kavanaugh is concerned as a person who was around at the time I find it quite plausible that a “big man on campus” did the things he is alleged to have done but common sense, a feeling, or that one was bullied by people like Kavanaugh is not grounds for impeachment. The original accuser doesn’t remember and the newest one has a potential reason to make a false accusation.

The primary reason Kavanaugh is still holding office is because impeachment requires the assent of two-thirds of senators and the Senate is controlled by the Republicans.

Otherwise he'd back in the courtroom being impeached.

If there is a blue wave next November he I expect him to be impeached and convicted.

If democrats impeach Kavanaugh, they will way overplay their hand. Just like they did when they fillibustered Gorsuch.

Speaking of which, does Kavanugh get appointed if he's fillibustered? Probably not. Support for his appointment was tenuous. Support for Gorsuch was much stronger.

They have no witnesses against him,the New York times article admitted so much.The suposed victim recanted and said she didn't remember the incident as the NY times article said.

There is nothing against Kavanaugh

I have said for the last few years (half-jokingly) that the only way to get ahead was to lie, cheat, steal and con your way to success, as the old way of hard work no longer is viable. Sadly it’s now the truth. We have a con man and a traitor leading this country, and scumbag lawyers in the judiciary. Nowadays, I no longer care, since politicians are not to be trusted. H. L. Mencken was right: never underestimate the intelligence of the American electorate, and I add the rejoinder that an amoeba has more intelligence.

Impeachment is not a legal matter it is a political one.

That may be true, but they have to have some evidence

Pesky need of evidence, it's always holding them back.

Calls for Brett Kavanaugh to be murdered. The left has completely normalized political violence.

The journalist was using a colorful metaphor to say that Kavanaugh will receive natural justice like Epstein (and probably Cosby).

The desperation in conservative backers of Kavanaugh include invoking pseudoscience (a favourite activity they use for climate skepticism and racism) puporting they understand human psychology better than Dr Christine Blasey-Ford a psychology professor who directly experienced Kavanaugh's attempt at rape.

The NY Times reporter behind the last Kavanaugh hit piece emerges as a real sleazeball — surprise! — trying to manipulate people into saying things she wants them to say, pretending to be an old friend instead of a reporter, etc. Real scum.


New York Times Kavanaugh Reporter Told Source What To Say

Year-old texts contained in a Senate Judiciary Committee report show that New York Times reporter Robin Pogrebin engaged in questionable journalistic tactics to shape a false narrative against Kavanaugh by telling a source what to say and by asking sources to confirm information she herself had given them. And despite including a highly opinionated discussion of the text exchange in their book, the authors never admitted that Pogrebin was a key player in the exchanges.

Pogrebin made a bizarre and unsupported claim this week that Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh had told her to lie. It turned out Pogrebin had mischaracterized discussions with the Supreme Court’s public information officer, not Kavanaugh, who had merely explained the terms of an off-the-record interview that was being sought and never obtained. Despite the many errors and false claims Pogrebin and her co-author Kate Kelly made, corporate media picked up on this false statement as if it were true.

It was just more lies on top of lies on top of lies. That's all it ever is.


Democrats' Kavanaugh Smear Implodes -- Again

Believe it or not, it was a year ago that a constellation of left-wing activist groups cooked up a series of outlandish lies designed to keep Brett Kavanaugh off the Supreme Court. The national news media, as you will remember, joined the smear campaign. They repeated and magnified the slurs. But in the end, it was to no effect. Kavanaugh was confirmed anyway. Why? Because not a single allegation against him was proven to be true. Not one. Their only lasting effect was to traumatize Kavanaugh's wife and children. To this day, the left has never apologized for their dishonesty or their profound cruelty. They did not accept defeat. They never do. Why? Because when politics is your religion, acknowledging reality looks like sin, and so it continues.

A few days ago, New York Times reporters Robin Pogrebin and Kate Kelly were the toast of the left. Their new book appeared to finish the job that the national media started a year ago and take out Kavanaugh for good. The authors accused Kavanaugh of committing sexual assault as a student at Yale more than 30 years ago. Details were sparse, but it was enough to launch a tsunami of rage from the left. Chatters on cable TV denounced Kavanaugh as a gang rapist. The leading Democrats running for president demanded that Kavanaugh be impeached and removed from office. Almost immediately, the story fell apart. The newspaper was forced to make a devastating correction to the piece. In fact, the woman that Kavanaugh supposedly attacked didn't remember anything about the event. And just like so many previous stories about Kavanaugh, the whole thing turned out to be a crock.
