There has only been one impeachment of a Supreme Court justice in American history
Back in the spotlight, and it’s about to get brighter. Photo: Jim Watson/AFP/Getty Images 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.
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, but indicated his support for “any appropriate constitutional mechanism to hold [Kavanaugh] accountable” for his misconduct.
Also on Sunday, President Trump and many of his allies on the right seemed happy to rehash the Kavanaugh fight and the “witch hunt” and “smear” narratives deployed to frame it. Trump tweeted attacks on the media about Kavanaugh and suggested that “the Justice Department should come to his rescue.”
