Dear John,

[ [link removed] ]Sign if you agree:
Impeach Brett Kavanaugh

He is a liar and a credibly accused sexual predator. Misogynistic Senate
Republicans put him on the Supreme Court anyway.

It's time for the Democrats who control the House of Representatives to
impeach Brett Kavanaugh.

This weekend, the New York Times published an in-depth corroboration of
Kavanaugh's college assault of Deborah Ramirez.^1 It highlights how Senate
Republicans constrained the FBI's investigation of her allegations in
their attempt to railroad Dr. Christine Blasey Ford and ram through
Kavanaugh's confirmation. It's not surprising – we all watched them do it
in real time – but it makes it even more clear why Democrats need to lead
now.

Kavanaugh was credibly accused of sexual assault and lying under oath in
2004 and 2006 and at least 30 times during his Supreme Court confirmation
hearings.^2 Not only is lying under oath unacceptable, but perjury is an
impeachable offense.

Here are some of the lies Kavanaugh told during his confirmation hearing:

* He said he first heard about Deborah Ramirez' allegations when "The
New Yorker" published them on Sept. 23. But text messages show that
Kavanaugh and his team were trying to refute Ramirez’s allegations
before they became public.^3
* Kavanaugh claimed to have “no connections” to Yale, explaining “I got
there by busting my tail.” But Kavanaugh’s grandfather attended the
school, giving him an advantage as a legacy student under Yale's
admissions policies.^4
* Kavanaugh said that he and Dr. Ford did not travel in the same social
circles. But Dr. Ford dated Kavanaugh's friend Chris Garrett (aka
Squi), whom Kavanaugh mentioned repeatedly in his testimony, in the
summer of 1982.^5
* Kavanaugh said that none of the gatherings on his calendar included
the group of people that Dr. Ford identified. But a July 1 calendar
entry included the same people that Dr. Ford said attended the
gathering.^6
* Kavanaugh claimed that "all the witnesses who were there say it didn’t
happen." But Dr. Ford's friend Leland Keyser, one of those Dr. Ford
says was present, said she believes Dr. Ford's allegation.^7

The lies matter. Each one undermines Kavanaugh's denials of the multiple
sexual assault claims against him. Each one calls into question his
trustworthiness and ability to be an impartial and honest jurist. Because
lying under oath is an impeachable offense, these lies also open Kavanaugh
up to blackmail by anyone who could expose him, a risk that FBI agents are
supposed to assess during background checks. But it is clear that the FBI
did not conduct a real investigation.

Rep. Jerry Nadler, chair of the House Judiciary Committee, promised that
if Democrats took over the House, he would open an investigation into
accusations of sexual misconduct and perjury against Kavanaugh.^8 It's
past time to make good on that promise.

We must hold each and every Democrat in the House of Representatives
accountable and demand that they preserve the legitimacy of the Supreme
Court.

Tell the House of Representatives: Investigate and impeach Brett
Kavanaugh. Click the link below to sign the petition:
